Knowing what you don't know is part of overall knowledge and there are no pat and proven answers. It is a germ. It doesn't have morals. Our bodies have never met it and it kills older people. At MY age, one in ten will die if the catch it. We know that 95% of people who have died in the United States were over fifty. Apparently something about aging makes us all more vulnerable. I personally knew FIVE people who died from this virus and two of them were frequent posters on this forum. It is wise to be very careful.
95 Percent of Americans Killed by COVID Were 50+ |
Over 40% of Covid deaths were nursing home residents, where the life expectancy is already very short. Before Covid, more than 50% of people admitted to nursing homes died within the first six months. The vast majority of people who died with Covid had multiple comorbidities. Only a small percentage of all Covid deaths occurred among otherwise “healthy” people. If I was in the high risk group, I would take extreme precaution. But I also wouldn’t expect everyone else to have to take the same level of precaution...
