COVID-19 needs context in time and reality... it isn't serious... just expediting that which must be.

 The COVID-19 Death pattern is interesting.

In 2018/19 the life expectancy was 78.7 to 78.8 years. That means, in 2018, you were born in 1940 or after and would die in 2019.

Those born in the decades before 1940 are oddities. GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ... how many of you still have your Great-grandparents alive?

The first of the BOOMER generation are due to die/expire in 2023/24. THEY are already Grandparents or even Great-grandparents -- with a generation every 25 years: 1945, 1970, 1995, 2020...

BUT, we're in a Baby Bust with kids not having kids or having them late in life -- so that 2020 group is part of an earlier generation classified as grandchildren to grandparents that have well exceeded their expiration (thanks to the conflicts between Vietnam and Afghanistan).

Smoking and other habits of the 1940s to 1970s have taken its toll... or set people up for COVID-19 to amplify any latent conditions into death.

The National death rate from all causes spiked by a half million in 2019 -- classified as COVID with the deaths subtracted from Flu and Respiratory issues -- but elevated by the War babies and early Boomer deaths -- the higher death rate remained constant and will for the next 20-years... COVID BE DAMNED... we're not Japan or a few other nations where 80-85 is the norm.

We are in a cultural transition. World War Three is scheduled for 2033... Fossil fuels will be history and home-based electric generation will dominate much of the nation.

By 2050, a third of peak life will have died or simply not been replaced... The Baby Bust will erase families. Those families that survive will go against the trend and see three children who have three children each... even as the total population decreases because so many are too stupid to keep their family lines going.
