In human society, it is very general and established perception that those who are young have more immunity which helps them to overcome the effects of stresses, survivability, and also in recovering from infections in comparison to old aged people. This perception has been evident during COVID-19 pandemic; societies are worried more for old aged people. Keeping this in view, the present study is carried to search the facts related to ageing, immunity, and survivability in COVID-19 infection. In the present study, it was observed that some very old aged people recovered and survived the infection while some younger people did not recover and died. This observation draws more attention for the study and tries to find possible reasons for such results.
