Yes, Iām sure there have been 79 deaths in MN in the last two months.
I retired from the Johns Manville asbestos pop tart factory in ā59, and still never made the connection.ā-Slumlord

If I made it to 87, I would hope there would be very little that would terrify me at that point. Would have outlived Dad by 10 years and his Dad by 30 years, so would consider myself way ahead of the game.....

I've got an 87 year old uncle that's in assisted living, I bet he's nervous. I need to call him.

Everyone gets sick. Everyone dies. The average age of death in Italy was 81. They stopped treating people 80 and over, then dropped it back to 65. And many deaths are attributed to the virus. Not heart attacks, COPD, stroke, renal or liver failure, etc.

So it's ok to say "what the hell,let the older people die" ? Instead of dying peacefully, it is ok to let them go out struggling for breath. I guess the same ones saying this says it is ok to kill the babies in late term abortions..I mean they are going to die some time right .
There are some cruel hearted SOB"s in this world that is for sure

I wonder how you would feel if you were suddenly faced with the prospect that most people in your age bracket will be dying in a few days or weeks

He is 84 and still hunts birds 150+ days per year.

For those of us over 70 this is a serious concern. I may die anyway, but I don't plan on dying this year. And I certainly wouldn't want to die laying in a bed gasping for air until there was no hope. For some of those making those comments, I would ask if they mean their parents as well?

Over 70, stay home a few months. That is not the same as saying we don't care and wish you would die.

I am 62 years old. Just had a serious stay in the hospital in March. I am vulnerable to the Covid.
OPEN THE DAMNED COUNTRY UP !
No one lives forever. Am I in a hurry to die? No. However, learned a long time ago that when God says it is your day, it is your day... I cannot see bankrupting and enslaving my children and grand children for the Socialist Utopian false hope of "Saving Everyone..."
Time to move on !
