I have two people I know that each lost a parent to COVID-19
Were they old and fat? Seems many people these days are suddenly shocked to hear about the "tragedy" of a 75 year old parent dying with COVID when they were 300 lbs, smoked like a chimney, and had diabetes and high blood pressure.
Life expectancy isn't 150 yet. Plenty of Americans die in their late 60s and 70s, especially if they have underlying conditions. People seem confused by this now.
COVID killed a lot of people 6-9 months ahead of schedule, that's all.
One was late 70s and the other was 52. Both were not in good shape
I bet they are saying the 52 year old was "so young and full of life" despite being clearly very ill even before COVID.
I hear that a lot.
