They may have died tomorrow because of crappy life choices, but that’s not what happened. My father was in Vietnam, his lungs are ****ed, should he just take it in the shorts for the economy? Can we not give these people a little time? Why is this so hard to comprehend?
My mom died in February at age 61 from complications related to lung cancer. She smoked hard all her life and basically took no care of her health. Even if she got COVID to pin her death on COVID would completely ludacris. She was dying anyways, and much as it pains me to say, she basically did it to herself. To give her some more time, while nice for her, myself, and family yeah that would be nice. You know what else would be nice? Having a society to bring up her grandson (my son) for the REST of his life in a world not completely distorted from what we lived in up til ,oh, about February. But I'm really greedy and have no skin the in the game.
