I'm not sure why I just thought of this. Probably because I'm getting old and feeble.
But I was thinking about families going to seeing Grandma and Grandpa for Thanksgiving and possibly giving them COVID. Obviously that would be stupid and irresponsible. But it's not the same for us, because this is our daughter. Then I realized Holy shit, we're the old people that she's visiting and possibly giving COVID!
Yes, So how do you feel about not having your daughter over, for fear, that
YOU may catch it? And what are you doing to not catch it?
Did anyone bother asking those Old people you guys are concerned about these types of questions? I sure would have, and asked them straight up, Are you afraid of dying, right now? If so and if not, why so? And you'll find out it's all personal. And it's all their own Personal Risk they are taking when they walk out that door. Our chances of dying increase with age, and don't get better, unless we as young adults, don't do the things that will make our bodies increase those odds.
That's why I applaud Gmillers post about "We're getting what we deserved" Because that is a damn true statement. And a hard one to take. Because look at our food and look at our health, what caused us to have our odds of death increase to high numbers?
Instead of worrying about that old man, Why not ask him, how he feels about this. Obviously, he doesn't care about dying as he should know those odds of him dying are high. But he needs to live, he needs to eat, he needs to shit, he needs his meds to continue risking his life.
Out of respect, I wear my mask while I am out. But, if you are high risk, and are out and about when you shouldn't be if you are worried about dying from covid, I am going to assume you understand those odds when you walk out that door.
