Agreed.
The average age here skews older and as I have seen in my 82 and 86 year old aunts, the Unwarranted FEAR and PANIC is incredible.
Two such religious people their whole lives.
Yet you would think they were certain that this is the only life there ever will be.
I think they’d shoot a person who came too close without a mask.
My mom..she said “open the country. If I die, I die. I want to live my life.” She’s 87. She says the country is more important than one or even more than one person.
She has taken precautions. But she is brave and not selfish.
And not scared.
A number of folks here could learn a few lessons from her.
I am proud of her.
God Bless President Trump.
And all of you who wear your faith on your sleeve...don’t lose it at times when it counts or it’s pointless.
I am not as religious as some on the board. I try.
But I do know Trump was chosen by God to TRY and save this country.
And God didn’t bring him this far to let him be taken down by this virus.
You can take that to the bank
God bless President Trump
Well said.
Your Mom sounds like most of the elderly I know (mostly, but not all, Baptists). One of the formative experiences of my younger life was when my non-religous aunt, in her late 70s, found out she had cancer and weeks to live. I talked with her about it. She said she had lived a full life, enjoyed it, but many of her friends were dead, her husband of 50 years was dead - and that she wasn’t scared.
But there ARE elderly who are in a blind panic. Maybe no more so than some in their 20s, but it shocks me when someone who says they believe in God is in a panic over a virus. I wonder how some of these people ever got up the nerve to drive a car!
