I AM NOT an epidemiologist. I do however work in science, with a lot of scientists who I listen to, and am a part time flying instructor.
Sorry, but I think it's an unacceptable risk. The odds of not passing anything transmitted by air between people in a cockpit are about nil. The mortality rate of over 70s is sitting around 8%.
Basically, stay home, study the books, wait until it has all passed over. That may not be this year.
