…”Life expectancy won’t lower at all. Before covid we already had multiple viruses that take out the sick and elderly. Influenza, norovirus and the like have been taking the lives of those on the margins for a long time. Add bacterial pneumonia, urinary tract infection and a myriad of other bacterial illnesses and covid will just be one of the bunch. We all die of something”...
YES! My Uncle Jack broke his hip at the age of 96 and within 3 weeks he died of pneumonia. I remember my Mother telling me that pneumonia was a friend of the elderly because it peacefully took a lot of old folks without pain and suffering. Since we are now seeing tyrannical behavior beginning to appear on the left, we know they see in this virus a chance to transform American into their fondest dreams of global socialism/communism. The interesting thing is that now a lot of folks are waking up to the many ways in which this destruction of our nation through means other than the virus just does not make rational sense.
I bet the Left sees the mortality of the elderly as a benefit from the virus. They welcome the virus as is a way to clear away from society the elderly who they perceive as a drain on society and an opportunity to cash in on their inheritance money. For them, the future will include Soylent Green as the solution for healthy nutrition.
Quibble. The left doesn’t see the virus as their chance to remake society. They see the reaction, especially of so called conservatives like the ones found here, to the virus as the reason the can implement the Prog agenda. The now know how to do it just go big on the scary numbers and use hockey stick graphs except explain that it will be Freepers who draw checks from the government dying. There isn’t any liberty they won’t force others give up to protect themselves.
Liberty evidently is not worth even the tiniest risk of dying. Our for ears are spinning. You know the 500,000 who died in WW2 defending liberty? They didn’t isolate the protect themselves.
