I’m 66 and don’t really consider death tragic at my age. I’m still quite fit and healthy, but I welcome death. Now, if I was younger and had others depending on me, I’d feel different.

The apostle Paul said to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Bottom line, for me, is that when I hear about people over 70 dying of this, I don’t even want them to be considered in the “death statistic” used to determine the severity of the disease itself.

I only perk up when I hear about a young or middle aged healthy person dying of this virus. Us old people are fragile. We die all the time of stuff that younger people just brush off.

“Us old people are fragile.” 66? I know seventy year olds who are out playing full field, full out soccer against 20 and 30 year olds. If you want to be old, you'll be old. I've seen many in their 30s and 40s who appear to be waiting for death. Is Trump old and fragile?

At 63, I ask "What do you mean we Kemosabe?"

Amen, brother - I’m 67 and the wife will be 70 in 2 months...knowing Christ makes the inevitable more enviable...but perhaps not today...

Way too many letting this bug obsess them.
