Death in Sweden... and everywhere!

Here's shocking news... the vast majority of COVID deaths in Sweden are to the very old. COVID is merely another one of nature's ways to facilitate the natural process of dying. This has been part of life from the beginning of the species. In fact, for most of our history life expectancy was around 40 or less. Most of you reading this would have been dead a long time ago only a couple hundred years back. Moreover, almost no one paid any attention to the elderly in this country before last year and most of them were dying lonely deaths in homes only 10 months back... AND NO ONE CARED!

We are in denial of the nature of our own lives and being used by politicians to increase their power.

The time period before modern medicine is a pretty low bar, don't you think?

Sure, compared to the Black Death and TB in a world with no antibiotics, covid isn't that bad. Is that really your analogy here? That covid is not bad b/c it doesn't young people as quickly as other diseases did before antibiotics were invented?

life expectancy number skewed heavily by infant mortality.

The combination of high infant mortality and deaths in young adulthood from accidents, epidemics, plagues, wars, and childbirth, particularly before modern medicine was widely available, significantly lowers LEB. For example, a society with a LEB of 40 may have few people dying at precisely 40: most will die before 30 or after 55. In populations with high infant mortality rates, LEB is highly sensitive to the rate of death in the first few years of life. Because of this sensitivity to infant mortality, LEB can be subjected to gross misinterpretation, leading one to believe that a population with a low LEB will necessarily have a small proportion of older people.[6] Another measure, such as life expectancy at age 5 (e5), can be used to exclude the effect of infant mortality to provide a simple measure of overall mortality rates other than in early childhood

is it still unadulterated nonsense in your view?

Check this out, in 1851 30% of children in the UK died before age 10. Skews the numbers a tad.

Although several thousand years ago we would have been living 500 or 600 years.
