That aside, I hope the lady is recovering well.

Why on earth is the woman described as "elderly", she might not even have reached retirement age yet.
Perhaps the reporter is a child but life expectancy is much greater nowadays and I am disgusted to see her described this way. Had she been in her nineties it would be more understandable but such ageism really annoys me.
But I would LOVE to live in a civilised country with no list of "-isms" disapproved of by a Left wing elite.
