There is a direct correlation between all this panic and extreme measures that are being taken and the fact that people are living much longer these days then they were 40 years ago.... This is about the political ramifications of millions of people in their 70’s and 80’s dying from this virus..... Most of whom would not have lived this long in another era..... When they talk about the health care system being overwhelmed, it is all about these older people..... Not saying younger people can’t get it too, but in the old days when the life expectancy was 70 tops, these extreme measures would not be taken..... The West has become old and soft compared to when life was harder and people did not live as long

Here in Michigan, the first 3 deaths from this virus were an 80 year old, and 2 in the 50’s.

If it’s worth it to just write off the older population and let nature take its course, then I must assume you are in favor of Death Panels.

I’m 56 years old. My wife of 31 years is 49.
I had a heart attack April of 2018, and I’m a diabetic.
Kinda thought I have about 15 good years left, hopefully more.

I will inform my wife the “The Fop” has decided it’s time for me to go.
