Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Old-age problems start at middle age, whether you feel them or not.

I'm just saying - you don't need a human hand in order to target a specific demographic for a particular disease. Very few men get breast cancer. And no woman has ever had prostate cancer that I know of!

Being male, and being middle age, and being a smoker, you're a target demographic for heart disease, lung cancer, and COPD, among other things. And that's whether you feel good now or not.

And no government was involved in that. It's just nature, having its merry way with you!

(And being male, and a smoker, you're more at risk for serious COVID-19. It's not due to 'somebody' targeting male smokers, it's just the way it is.)

40 is the new 30.

I'm good.

I'd be much more concerned about my younger brother who is 250lbs overweight, and his even younger wife who is 150lbs overweight. Neither of which smoke.

Big is beautiful though... at least until they call your premature death from obesity a Covid death to bump the numbers.

All I'm saying is that if John Candy, John Belushi or Chris Farley died in 2020 they'd be labeled Covid deaths.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Chris Farley had died of an overdose of cocaine and morphine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Farley#Death

John Belushi's cause of death was combined drug intoxication involving cocaine and heroin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Belushi#Death

John Candy was found dead from a presumed heart attack. The exact cause is uncertain, as no autopsy was performed in Durango, Mexico. Candy smoked a pack a day of cigarettes, had heavy alcohol use, and occasional use of cocaine.

Not sure there are many ailments out there with those parameters.

I don't think you are going to get through to her. She is not interested in facts sometimes. She is not going to get it.

As to your 2nd part, have you forgotten about "AIDS" - at least as far as the belioevers of the AIDS Religion believe?

Yup.

My point being that in 2020 they would have called them all Covid deaths.

In case anyone wants to take a trip down memory lane, this is what was being predicted in May, 2020.

"Now there’s talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies, screening checkpoints, contact tracing, immunity passports to allow those who have recovered from the virus to move around more freely, and snitch tip lines for reporting “rule breakers” to the authorities.
If you can’t read the writing on the wall, you need to pay better attention."

Any day now ... I'm sure of it!! (/sarcasm)

Meanwhile, there's JACK, courageously standing up for his rights! (/sarcasm)

eting-with-g20-leaders-to-play-golf/ar-BB1beOq0?ocid=msedgntp

What Trumps minions don't see is that Trump is no longer president. He is a child having a tantrum and isn't doing the countries business. Not that he ever did. What he is doing besides having a fit is he is striking out and going for the complete destruction of everything. Payback for all the imagined and deserved slights against him.

Watch how quickly Biden puts it back together. It'll be fun to watch.

Hospitals Know What’s Coming
“We are on an absolutely catastrophic path,” said a COVID-19 doctor at America’s best-prepared hospital.
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/11/americas-best-prepa
red-hospital-nearly-overwhelmed/617156/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

“I don’t see how we avoid becoming overwhelmed,” says Dan Johnson, a critical-care doctor. People need to know that “the assumption we will always have a hospital bed for them is a false one.”

What makes this “nightmare” worse, he adds, “is that it was preventable.” The coronavirus is not unstoppable, as some have suggested and as New Zealand, Iceland, Australia, and Hong Kong have resoundingly disproved—twice. Instead, the Trump administration never mounted a serious effort to stop it. Whether through gross incompetence or deliberate strategy, the president and his advisers left the virus to run amok, allowed Americans to get sick, and punted the consequences to the health-care system. And they did so repeatedly, even after the ordeal of the spring, after the playbook for controlling the virus became clear, and despite months of warnings about a fall surge.

Not even the best-prepared hospital can compensate for an unchecked pandemic. UNMC’s preparations didn’t fail so much as the U.S. created a situation in which hospitals could not possibly succeed. “We can prepare over and over for a wave of patients,” says Cawcutt, “but we can’t prepare for a tsunami.”

How dense can you be? It does not matter what the real cause of death was, they would be labeled as Covid in 2020. Whether it was stubbed toe, indigestion, or cold.

I thought you were from NY.
Folks I know from NY do refer to Deplorables in Flyover Country as potatoheads.

And regionally, when explaining why some people are unable to perform certain tasks adequately, the phrase is used: Plant a potato, get a potato.
