News Flash: People over 65 have a higher rate of dying than younger people. People over 80 have a much higher rate. Covid, or no Covid.

Make your peace with God, then all is well.

Yes. That. I am near the age range yet, but a lifelong (retired) friend of mine is doing very little socially because of restrictions put on by his former nurse wife as her 92 year old mother lives with them. She doesn't want one of them to be the cause of the mother's death.

I have already started telling my (much younger) wife and all who I know to NOT change your lifestyle because of me. If I get flu, Covid, or pneumonia, or just a bad cold, I might die, or not. I expect to be an ongoing burden at some point if I live long enough, but I do not want a centenarian notice in the paper come at the expense of my wife and children having no life themselves. I am under 60 and have lived enough life that if something happened it wouldn't be a tragedy except for the fact that I still have minor children.
