In reply to the discussion: Dear people over 80... [View all]Tanuki
(14,893 posts)2. Thank you. We will all be 80 someday if we live long enough.
It has been horrible over the past couple of years to hear the lives and humanity of seniors and people with health problems being discussed so dismissively in the context of covid mortality.
Over 80? Your life is indeed as precious as anyone else's.
