Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

Have you noticed how many Covidians lack basic adult skills generally?

Like living in places other than NYC /London and having no access to a car / not even knowing how to drive? Not able to get a job? Not able to move out of their parents' home? I considered myself a late bloomer and my parents were unsupportive of providing me resources to start up my life as an independent adult, but I still got my drivers license my senior year and signed my first apartment lease when I was 20. I bought my first car when I was 23. I just have no sympathy for people who claim their lives are at risk from living with their parents, or feel like they are going to die if they can't eat lunch privately at work but don't have a car or live where it's cold. Like does it not occur to them to change their living situation or learn to drive and buy a car, if they actually thought they were going to die otherwise ? Somewhere deep down they must know the risk isn't that real. Part of my motivation was that my parents were chain smoking in the house and my father would drive drunk, he also had a bad temper and there were guns in the house. I was getting bronchitis constantly and was scared of him, so I gave up what I needed to give up, and it was scary and hard but here I am 30 years later. I also understand that things are harder now but that apartment was a 1 bedroom I shared. No dishwasher, sad laundry room, walk -up, in a sketchy neighborhood. No locked entry, it was motel style. My car was 10 years old when I bought it, an old Toyota, basic, and I started in small town in TX. I picked a place based on where I could afford it, not where I dreamed of being. I am not saying I am perfect but I don't understand why people who believe it's so awful where they are that they will die, don't just move. Buy a car and live in it. Something. But you would have to know how to drive.

FACTS from the CDC!

57% over 75 years old.
79% over 65 years old.
95% of all Wuhan deaths were amongst those older than fifty and 93% of all Wuhan deaths had 3 or more comorbidities. Statistically, there was zero death amongst those less than 18.

What ever happened to @Heraclitusstudent ?

He last posted in spring 2020, shortly after the Wuhan hit America. I wonder if the protocols got him?

@Onvacation

I did not get a bounce message resulting from your @ of him, so that implies his email address is still active.

Patrick says

Doesn't mean he is.

Then again Tiffany Dover eventually came back...
