Why is so many people dying?

While the average life span has dropped down a bit in the age of COVID, it helps to keep things in a historical perspective. In the early 20th century, a guy was lucky to make it beyond his 40’s. The life spans that people today routinely enjoy were rare back then...

Aw c'mon, Shakespeare died aged 52 on the same date that he was born, 23/04/1616, born on 23/04/1564. Back then 52 years was more than an acceptable long life.

Seems easy enough to feel a bit weighed down these days than I seem to remember, though so many living alone, or more or less so cant help, (the prevalence of divorce and so on, plus kids shunning their own, so you aint even got that kind contact thing with kids or grandkids, to keep you feeling younger at least). :(:rolleyes::censored::cry::sneaky:

I heard people are dying because they stopped living? This is likely a rumor👀🍄

I agree, time for a little humor in an otherwise grim discussion.(y)

Here's my contribution:
A Taichi joke -
Student: “Master, what is the secret to a long life?”
Master: “Keep breathing as long as you can!”

Admittedly not super funny, unless you understand that in Taichi(and Yoga & other practices) breathing is an integral part of the art, and emphasized during practice.

From Catch 22:
“He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.”
“Be glad you're even alive. Be furious you're going to die.”
"Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them." - Not about death, but I like it.

All three witty and just about right, maybe cept should read "Most men",.....! :)
 
Win.
Very true what you said. Kids nowadays since the invention of the cell phone, the computer & Internet don't play outside in the dirt & air like we use to do. So their immune system is not up to par as it should be.

We drank out of a hose, played in mud puddles, dirt piles, ate snow. Probably a lot more I've forgotten. Now they play on their phones/Ipads & stay in a semi germ-free house.

Whoa, Nelly! Now hold on a, I say now hold a second there Missy! How about pumping the brakes just a little and let's take this a little slower. Covid came into being because that's what stuff does that hangs out on the earth. It comingles with other stuff and turns into other things. Sometimes they're good things, sometimes, not so much but I don't think that Covid knows or has plans to "kill us off". It's a virus without a brain. It doesn't know us from beans.

And it's possible that we could be extinct "very soon" I guess, geologically speaking but it wasn't a virus that killed the dinosaurs and some people "know" that dinosaurs didn't exist, just as convaxxers "know" that the vaccines available are whatever they think they are. Some people just don't like to believe what is so obvious to others. But I think that somehow, human beings, mostly, if not all of them, provaxxers, will live for a while yet. Not as many humans overall but that's not bad.

When I was born the earth only had to support around 2 billion people. In the 66 years that I've been hanging around, that population has increased to near or maybe even over, I didn't look, but it's near 8 billion or four times as many. (Did the math for those who can't or won't) It's just MY OPINION. Too many people, in too small of a "home". I'm not an authority but I see things and I evaluate what they might mean TO ME. Covid or no, nature doesn't need us but we do rely quite a bit on nature, so what she says goes. Right now Covid is a part of nature in that it permeates our natural surroundings and our efforts to control nature or, in this case Covid, are falling short.

We could use a few more player on the team to help solve the problem but recruiting them is not so easy. Too many so called "experts" have poisoned the wells from which they drink and they, in turn, infect others with their faulty logic. Don't worry, nature will ALWAYS be here, we will not. No matter if it's Covid that kills us, bad vaccines, or just suffocation from having one's head stuck where it shouldn't have been, for so long. But I do think that it's selfish of someone so advanced in age to give their next 5-10-15 years of probably not a great quality of life precedence over helping to save potentially hundreds of lives whose years would add up into many more useful and productive years. That's even if these convaxxers suffered any consequence at all from being vaccinated which I'm convinced they would not and which they may forever remain unconvinced that preventing the spread of the virus to the many is a better, wiser path to choose than choosing to stay on their own narrow path with their blinders on so that they don't see the full picture.

The sky isn't falling but if it begins to, some people still won't believe it. Some people only see what they want to see and believe only what they want to believe and hide behind the statement that it is their "right" to do so. And for now, unfortunately, it is indeed their "right". Just as it's the right of the government to take your house because they want to build a new road or something else to benefit the many instead of just you. I hope that some sort of legislation is worked out to address some of these things because on our own, typing on the internet, squabbling like children, I don't think that we can get the job done. Stay tuned!

PS I think that you live in the UK so some of this "rights" stuff may not apply to you but people not believing or seeing the obvious is a pretty universal thing so I hope that you can read this as I intended it to be seen and not necessarily literally so. I'm just a concerned citizen of the world, not a professional essayist. But I also am provaxx.
