What a Drag it is Getting Old

Here's another reason why the reckless, uncaring behavior of so many people during this pandemic makes me so angry:

"Elderly people and coronavirus: It's the worst disaster of thepandemic. But WHO chief says our lack of concern shows 'moral bankruptcy' -CNN

WHO figures from last week show that almost 88% of all deaths in Europe were among people aged 65 and over. And almost half of all deaths linked to Covid-19 globally have taken place in care homes, according to the Long-Term Care Covid (LTCcovid) network at the London School of Economics.

But despite vast numbers of elderly people dying of coronavirus -- and a significant drop in the quality of life of many of those forced to self-isolate -- the global response to the risks they face in the era of Covid-19 has often been chilling."

Thanks a lot. I can only hope these cavallier people are treated the same way when they get old.
