    What I find amazing is that people fail to grasp the unavoidable truth that we all moral and that unfortunately older people or hardest hit by this truth.

    Is this a good thing that covid is kill people over 70 at a 5% rate no. But considering that this group is also more likely to have other preexisting health issues and this virus preys 9n people like that, what is surprising.

    My dadd had a pre-existing respiratory condition that started when he was two years old. Doctors told his family he wouldn't live past the age of five.
    He had numerous hospital stays during his lifetime for this pre-existing condition. In between, he managed to become an MD, raise 4 kids, run a business that supported 20 employees, fund a hospital wing, and live to the age of 85.

    Every year is important, yet you dismiss them out of hand cause they were "eventually going to die anyway because they had a pre-existing condition ...".

    “A virus that affects almost no one”?

    Most definitely not i am simply pointing out that old people simply have a much higher chance of dieing, simply because they are old. Read my link.

    I read his Oped, and found it to be disturbing, of course. And - also of course - Trump supporters will discount his thoughts. Somehow, anyone associated with Trump is golden and anyone against him is worthless. I can easily name lots of Dems I don't like and suspect their motives - but it doesn't appear to be possible from Trump's supporters to even entertain the notion.

    He was referring to young people at the time. But that just went whoosh over your head because the ONLY words you see are in 1 sentence. Who gives a **** about context right? What he said before and after? Clueless sheep!

    If Trump had he way and his quack adviser's herd immunity plan were implemented models show 2M US citizens would be die. Based on previous answers on the pandemic is there any question Capt. Clorox's response to this death rate would be, "it is what it is."

    Is it a fact or an opinion that Trump made the tragically erroneous comment the virus would go away with the warm weather based on a false belief? That's just one example of him expressing an opinion not supported by facts presented to him. Which is exactly what Cardillo said.

    So they don’t matter to you... since the number ( a quarter million dead) is so low
