We have crushed our society because we have dramatically increased life expectancy. In 1960 most people were already dead by the time they would have reached the vulnerable age for COVID. Nature is reminding us that we live too long. We are screwing up life for the young to save geezer boomers... like me! I am so ashamed at the mess my generation has made of the country to sustain its over inflated sense of importance. We are effectively an ossified gerontocracy. Look at our leaders! They are all old people who refuse to get off the stage. Nature has sent COVID to thin the herd.
