I must get around to writing a will !
I can remember when living beyond 80 was considered a very rare and astonishing thing, and only a relatively few people lasted that long. And that is only a few decades ago. With the age of death having started to fall in the UK anyway over the past few years, not living over 80 is normal lifespan for most regardless of covid19
nice post @Goonergal
and that to my mind leads on to a conversation me and the wife had.
the exit strategy.

The damage to the alveoli, thus the fluid filling, is allegedly being caused by the damage caused by the unbound heme.given the graphic accounts of fluid filled lungs etc, what other articles have you seen to substantiate this idea of it not being a respiratory disease?
I hear you re the Trump comment but a broken clock and all that.I'd like it to be true but I am becoming increasingly wary of certain articles which almost sound like 'Trump was right!' proclamations.
If it's true we will no doubt see it more widely accepted by the medical community soon.

I’m not saying it’s accurate just that I’ve seen a number of articles saying the same and on the face of it there seems some sense in it. I’ll try and relocate some of the others ......
From my point of view we need to stop talking about an 'exit strategy' and we need to start talking about a 'coping strategy '.
The sooner governments around the world open up about this and taken ownership of the problem, the better it will be for all of us.
Edit to add, I'm guessing our hands are tied somewhat until there's a viable vaccine available.

Wait till you get to 80 to say that!I can remember when living beyond 80 was considered a very rare and astonishing thing, and only a relatively few people lasted that long.

I have not made a judgement call on anything about the pro's and con's of being older. I am stating the fact that living to be over 80 is a relatively new thing over the past 100 years of UK civilisation. So the expectation to be over 80 has changed over that time. Plus the fact that the increase in age of the past few decades is now reducing again.Wait till you get to 80 to say that!
I am looking forward to the next 20 years of life and I am 81 in June.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Thanks, Obama:
Trump’s favorite tactic when things go wrong is to blame his predecessor -- even though he has been President for more than three years.
Hence the repeated false claim that the US shelves were empty of ammunition when he took office.
Trump’s biggest whopper of this crisis was that former President Barack Obama left him obsolete tests for coronavirus -- even though the disease wasn’t discovered until late last year.
They always seen to recommend culling animal herds, flocks etc. so stop the spread of these diseases, I think there is a law against culling humans somewhere...I do wonder if those promoting herd immunity consulted the science officers of the agricultural community.
Lots of experience there with viral spread of Foot & Mouth disease, bird flu etc.
Preventing transmission between farms (think care homes) using strict lockdown and biosecurity.
