Living longer and the strain it puts on society

[Brownslave688]

Covid-19 has me thinking. Is this the new norm? Every time there’s a new illness that targets the weakest of us we shut down the world? As the population continues to age there will just be more and more of this.

I think the world is finally going to put its foot down on China’s lab and animal market safety.

Every country has been tiptoeing around every issue with them because of the clout they bring to international trade and manufacturing. We’ve since learned that their animal viruses can harm us and our economies a lot more than making their communist leaders angry could. So we’ll act.

There needs to be consequences for trump not listening to his intelligence agencies and pretending it will all just go away.

The USA did as good of a job as just about anywhere.

Long life sounds great but living in a nursing home? Better to go before then.

Yes, until the United States is made an equal. Succinct? @Fred's Myth

No, there doesn't have to be.
Have you been asleep for the last five years at a minimum? Use your head for more than growing hair.

Except Korea and maybe Germany.
The USA is very transparent with a strong and free media.
China is probably the worst hit in the world in raw numbers but the individual there, as in all Socialist and Communist countries, is irrelevant.

I'll leave that to the folks in DC who are paid to plan those complex business, trade, education and immigration arrangements.

Except Korea

Wonder how well we'd do if our Country were also a peninsula with a land area the size of the state of New York.

I agree.
The USA is a huge country and with 50 varieties of Governmental abilities and approaches.

You would think so but with little to no opposition from the Dems he will be re-elected and will Keep America Great Again.

I've been lucky (if you want to call it that) in the fact that my Mom, Dad and Father- in-law all went quick. We are now dealing with the nursing home thing with the Mother-in-law and it isn't pleasant.

There would have been 2 million consequences if he had not done everything he did.
