I am 75 years old. I don’t even look at the pretty girls in their summer dresses anymore.

That's not old,that's already dead.

[Eleutheria5]

It’s a good thing they never visit their grandparents.

“Why is it that a healthy young American like me - in the demographic most likely to survive Coronavirus – is panicking?"

Because you are a dumba$$..

i’m 63. went out yesterday and today, 1 fast food, and 1 sit down and eat.
Every other person looked waaay older than I am. One guy got pushed in in a wheelchair and his buddy had to hoist him up on a stool for drinks.( 10 patron maximum was in effect, btw)
I am not understanding why everybody has to stay home to not infect the elderly, when they are out in bunches, eating and drinking.

Is there something I’m supposed to panic about?

Having living through a half dozen end of the world scenarios humped by media and the IYI I hardly think about the Wuflu

The day this boomer panics over a flu bug is the day I need to hang it up.

Just because you say “boo” doesn’t mean we are obligated to jump.

[Billthedrill]

Not our first rodeo with these types of players.

Nope. I remember my Mom telling me not to play in the sprinklers on the lawn because I could get polio. I still don't, to tell the truth.

Unfortunately, here in Iowa they’ve completely shut down all eat in dining and all of the bars.

[Eleutheria5]

That really did happen—in Africa. Nobody noticed, though. Bush 43 gave them 15 Billion, anyway.

[FreedomNotSafety]

Don’t forget; “Duck and cover”! After living through imminent nuclear war what is there left to scare the boomers with?

[Jamestown1630]

I’m 66 (by the calendar) and I still take great pleasure at observing the handsome young men.

You’re never too old to appreciate the Good Lord’s handiwork - and I think after a certain age, it’s a downright duty!

[Equine1952]

Back in the “desk hiding” days girls wore skirts and white panties. I know cause you had to look at something hiding under there. Wish I was still that young. We got to play dodgeball back then.

It’s a good thing they never visit their grandparents.

Considering how many old people are warehoused in nursing homes whose kids NEVER come to visit, it's a wonder some of those grandkids even know that they have grandparents.

The Diary of H L Mencken?

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Yep. And don't forget other famous overhyped threats such as Acid Rain, DDT, salt-caused hypertension, Hillary's imminent victory, the Heartbreak of Psoriasis, Mueller's & Schiff's sleuthing producing myriad Impeachment-Ready-Projects, all FR-slowdowns being due to D-O-S attacks, the Deep State, ....

Whoa, wait a minute! I believe in that last one.

Why Won't At-Risk Boomers Panic About the Wuhan Virus?

I wonder why...

Could it be we've been breathlessly lied to before?

[eyedigress]

If you remember a coat room, your old enough. :^)

[DLfromthedesert]

I'm not elderly. I'm a seasoned citizen.😊

[BlackVeil]

Yes, I remember that, and I also remember that the medical establishment was right on board with it. They needed huge amounts of funding, for research and public awareness campaigns, or most of us would die. The few survivors, would be wandering ruined cities, with not enough to eat, because everyone else was gone ... Well, that was the scenario.
