Would, could, if, might - these are the words of tabloid conjecture. There needs to be more hard data before any real conclusions can be drawn.
Lots dead here! ..how old? ..what other mitigating factors? ..That country!! THOUSAN... yes, It’s terrible. No-one would disagree. How old? ..what level of medical care had they received - what mitigating factors.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/ .. for what it’s worth; but, not a lot of information, and I doubt this includes enough study to draw any truly accurate conclusions to assess risk.
Seen kids die at 16 - just keel over dead on football fields, my own family members kick-off earlier than that in road accidents, and another fall over dead due to a ruptured aorta - family lost to heart attacks, cancer, stroke - I spent last weekend in the ICU with another family member ...so many ways to go and no clock to refer to to figure just how long we got left.
Time is promised to no-man, so don’t forget to live a little in the time you have.
Have been charged by a mountain lion while out tracking elk, survived in the wilderness for six months, been in motorcycle accidents, been cut-up, stabbed, not-to-mention damn-near killed a few times doing stuff I enjoy. I have a pretty realistic view of how fragile the human condition can be, and just how hard we, as a species, will fight to survive. So, as far as all this goes I think I’m going to wait for more hard data to crunch before engaging in any hysterical or optimistic conclusions either way. ..While I wait, I’m going to do my level best to enjoy whatever time I have left.
Try to remember that even the most selfish, powerful, and craven of us have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. And all bullshit and self-serving twisted realities aside, the smartest of us - worldwide, are being put to work on this thing, because it serves all selfish needs in all people everywhere. This thing, it will be beat.
No matter what the reality of this thing ends up being, Enjoy Your Lives, and I wish You, and Your Families, all the best.
