<VV> Really not the right forum

[FrankDuVal]

OK, let's start with who on this Virtual Vair list is not overweight, 
doesn't have high blood pressure, does not have a heart condition, never 
had cancer, is not diabetic (or pre-diabetic) and is not over 50.

What do we have left, less than 10% of VVers?

You are preaching to the wrong choir as they say. Go talk to the 
population in general, where the healthy people are. Until then, use 
statistics based on who WE are!

My boss, over 20 years younger than me died from it. Was on a ventilator 
for over a month. Is this one of those deaths due to some other 
condition, so it should not be counted? Get REAL! Last time I 
checked,the virus was not poison, so it cannot kill directly, it has to 
kill by agrvating symptoms, such as breathing difficulties. Have an 
existing heart condition? There yo go, it just got a whole lot worse, 
even though days before you were feeling fine and living your life to 
the fullest.  If you are one of those people I listed at the top of this 
email, and get Covid, and you die, that does not count, since you were 
in poor health to start? I guess according to you older people should 
just give up.

I have way too many Corvair projects to give up and die right now! SO I 
SHALL be cautious in my daily activities, and ASK YOU to do the same. 
Quit being a selfish bastard. Wear a mask when around others.

I do think it is funny you list numbers, but they are just statistics, 
like those numbers/statistics you poo poo. You have an agenda also. It's 
like listening to Fox news.

Now back to some Corvair news.... please!
