    I mean, it is better news then “kills healthy young people”.

    Obviously better nobody die, but better if someone dies a few months early than a few decades early.

      Completely false choice you’re illustrating. The older people you’re describing would live on for decades without COVID exposure.

      They are going to die because your country doesn’t have the social consciousness to wear mask, at minimum, during the winter surges.

      You are giving credit to fascist eugenics over the bare minimum collective action. It’s extremely easy to wear an aura N95 Mask. Other countries do it very easily which is why families aren’t dropping like flies.

      American nurses don’t even wear masks anymore, I’ve personally seen COVID positive patients assigned rooms with uninfected patients. After infection these people go from stable health to rapid decline from organ damage.

      The same way you probably wouldn’t have had a heart attack until 2070 if you didn’t take repeated blunt force trauma to the chest for 2 weeks this year.
