A lot of people are "sickly" though. It's dangerous to people with asthma, heart palpitations, and other somewhat common conditions.

Obesity is listed as a risk factor for serious illness.

40ish % of Americans are obese. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm

It doesn’t appear that we do face greater risks every day. COVID-19 is a leading cause of death this year. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/covid-19-compared-to-other-common-us-causes-of-death-2020-5%3famp

I still don't understand how we live in a society that wants to keep its sick AND elderly or terminally ill around for as long as possible. There is no quality of life left and they eat up resources and money.

I cannot believe I was demanded to act to save a bunch of old farts who were already half dead and people who treat themselves like a dumpster. I live in a country that expects me to lose my job and housing and income so fleshbags being kept alive on numerous medications, who therefore should already be dead, can be barely alive for another year or two. That's extremely fucked up.

I hate my governor but one thing he did right was put Rona patients in nursing homes. He did us a favor in cleaning house. Now my state isn't having a peak of cases this summer like it supposedly should be having and I bet it is because he did this, and also because he fucked up and loads of this state got sick early on.
