I have an intense interest in continuing to live and a few other folks seem to wish that too.

Covid-19 IS airborne and has now become increasingly more contagious. I don't understand your making light of it.

Yes, people have died. People die every year of various diseases, some much more devastating than this one. That's life. In many cities, murders kill innocent people at a prodigious rate, and those deaths are not usually the elderly with concomitant frailties. It is a huge disservice, especially to little children and struggling families, to force them into the unnatural lifestyle they are now experiencing...out of an irrational fear for ones own safety.

Yes, we would have been MUCH better off without all of the government intervention.
