It saddens me you took that from my statements because that’s not what I meant at all. My mom is 76 years old with COPD and very much alive. I want to protect her. But I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again many many more millions of people have died due to poverty than all the combined viruses the world has ever experienced. The first world as we know it has just gotten out of that in the past hundred years. Someone is going to have to decide where we draw the line as far as plunging the entire globe into an economic depression that will rival the dark age.
