[QUOTE="Mike Sixx, post: 2232211, member: 516250"] I am not very optimistic on my chances with CORVID-19. I have T2 and borderline Hypertension so if the death rates of both conditions are cumulative that would mean I'dd have better chances surviving a round of Russian roulette- 1/6 odds - than CORVID-19. And since surviving CORVID-19 does not give you immunity, it is not many times I can beat those odds. Or even just the CORVID-19's 9.2% mortality rate among people with diabetes [URL]https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/[/URL]. I made my peace with it, if it kills me it kills me, no point worrying about it. At least it will be fairly quick and easy death, at least compared to Diabetes. Besides the way things are going the next decade might not be something I want to hang around for, specially with Diabetes; recession, scarcity and totally overwhelmed health care system. There is no really a point worrying about death. It is not likely you get to regret it ; ) I only worry about by girlfriend and the impact on her life, she will be hurt and I would not be there to protect and help her in the hard times ahead. All we can do is try to improve our odds; eat right and live as healthy as possible. [/QUOTE]
