Interesting calculation, thanks.
I wonder how many people there are like my brother-in-law who went from a fairly healthy 78 yr old working 4 days a week at Lowes to a nursing home, probably for the rest of his life?

I tried to find the whole European Excess Death list, but the original Reuters article did not have it.

I wanted to compare the USA numbers to all the Europe numbers.

Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.

At 78 years old, going to a nursing home is often a one way trip.

I am a few years younger, but I still enjoy excellent health - a completely undeserved miracle, I might add.

I have not been C-19 vaccinated yet.

I postponed mostly because I wanted to see how well people my age tolerated the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines.

Now, two brand new vaccines have been introduced - Astra Zeneca and Johnson & Johnson.

When I called around yesterday, they refuse tell you which vaccine you are going to get.

Another good reason to postpone!
