66 in in fact quite old, many many many people die way before they get to 66 years old... very very few live past 66.

all of this blue and red bullshit should really come to an immediate stop and we should all work together..

covid is being used as a tool to divide nations..

covid is political bullshit.

why is trump going along with this? my guess is that medical issues are not one of his strong points, i seem to remember him asking if we could just inject bleach to get rid of covid?

well, i am in no way a medical professional and even i know that injecting bleach is no cure for any thing.

trump is clueless about medical issues, he seriously needs a competent team of advisors.

on a side note, a couple of things that mr trump should do is that he should be selective about which reporters get to be in his audience, the ones that like to argue would never get invited back again. he is not required to answer to any fkhead from any stupid newspaper or television station. mr trump is the president.

fk covid.

feel like 66 ain't that old

my grandpa who died at 91 was running races in his 70s

trump for a while I thought he WASN'T going along with this but then he started wearing a mask and holdiong his rallies socially distanced outside and even said he has covid recently. Was caught on tape telling Woodward that it is a big deal and he only downplayed it so people wouldn't panic. Maybe we should panic? That's why I want to talk about what is the worst case scenario. No vaccine makes me think it's panic worthy.

I agree on reporters trump allows but I think he sometimes enjoys arguing with them. What good is power if you don't get to use it and lord over people. I enjoy Trump doing that actually. Imagine if Obama had real arguments with rw reporters, it would actually make him look good if he wasn't afraid to take questions from them and answered their questions, instead that was tightly controlled with Obama, he rarely did press conferences and it was all scripted when he did. Pelosi took tough questions from Wolf Blitzer yesterday, she seemed flustered, probably didn't expect it. Not sure why Wolf grew balls, probably a one time thing. Might be that Wall st, who owns him, does want stimulus to improve the economy so it told him to get on Pelosi's case about it. Oh well besides the reason I just think it would be great if politicians arguing with reporters was commonplace.

A majority of people live beyond 66.

It’d be difficult to arrive at a life expectancy figure of 78 if a majority were dying before 66. To balance that you’d need a minority of Methuselahs, and the average life expectancy at 60 drops below 20. Even assuming a simple majority of 11 out of 20, with those 11 dying at 65, the remaining 9 will need to average 94 at death to make this work and that’s a rare age.
