Interestingly enough, there are presently only 77 people who are 110 years old or greater.
6 million to 77 in 10 years.
“Interestingly enough, there are presently only 77 people who are 110 years old or greater. 6 million to 77 in 10 years.”
It does stand to reason that the life expectancy of someone 100 or more can’t be any too high...
I used to get a weekly German newspaper (published in the US) that often ran human interest stories about whoever was the current oldest living German woman or man. Like the woman who was 110 and living in an assisted care home but still had all her marbles... There was a funny story about the new receptionist at the home who was astonished when a woman in her 80s came in one day and announced she was there to visit her mother. The grand old lady said that she was ready to go any time the Lord called her, but if the Lord was busy with other things at the moment and couldn’t get to her just yet, she wouldn’t mind waiting either.
The depressing thing about all this was that these articles kept appearing with some frequency, as if there were some kind of jinx. If an article about one man who was the oldest living German appeared, it would only be a matter of months before another article appeared about someone else who now had the honor.
