Disclaimer: I do not wish people to suffer from coronavirus or die from it, but at least, the same people who are the most vulnerable have the least to lose.

Let's assume that someone dies at age 91 from coronavirus instead of 94 due to heart failure, missing out on around three years.

What exactly do they miss out on?

Three years of misery, pain, disability and dependence.
Think about it: How is daily life at that age? Not so nice, to put it politely.

Again, I do not wish anyone to die from coronavirus, but maybe it helps some people to know that the elderly people who died from corona virus have not lost much.

If some 16-year-old teen dies from a motorbike accident, he has lost alot. But not the 9X year old who died a few years of misery earlier.

But coronavirus is more infectious and has a higher mortality rate per person, as far as I know.

CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

Interesting.

But doesn't the CDC also promote circumcision (genital mutilation)?

Last time I checked, they did.

China is asshole.

But news out of non-commie Korea is promising... but then there's Italy and their hordes of "migrants" who are dropping like flies and making the death rate sound scarier while they lick shrines or babydicks or whatever it is they surely lick.

Also you have to think that the majority of people who are actually being tested are the ones going to the hospitals. People who are mildly sick probably won't get tests. And those who are sick enough to go to the hospital probably have compromised systems already, like old people and dirty savages.

Italy is also political correctness where they went and hugged the returning Chinese workers in January.
