She does have a point, but Id rather not think about it as my FIL currently in hospital, with final stage Lewy body / Parkinsons
And I have a very frail 91 year Father......
Whilst i fully accept your right to free speech and it should fully be upheld that doesn't absolve you from being a caring human being where basic social skills that to help build a socially cohesive society are a good ideaYep she has a point.
It's an awful way of looking at it, but it is nature.
In the past we have had wars to keep the human population at bay, (except for the plague), but in recent times with mostly world peace we have become rodents of the planet, multiplying at an accelerated rate. I believe covid-19 is likely nature trying to take back some form of control. I have taken the stance of what will be, my only hope is that I hope my young son does not catch it.
NOTE: I understand my comment may offend some folks, however I am entitled to my opinion.

If you want those people to die, then what if someone turns around and says, well thats my loved one you are talking about, I hope your young son dies.
Not so nice is it.
The people who think about epidemics have been concerned for some time now. They crop up now and again and there has been a view that we are overdue one. Thoughts essentially a virus mutates or is lurking somewhere waiting for us to find it. Flue has caused a lot of deaths at times due to the variety but comments about the usual ones now and death can IMHO be misleading. It's a pretty common way for the elderly to eventually die which probably increases the numbers that are being quoted at the moment. My mother and one of my grandmothers died this way. It's not unusual. Immune system deteriorates and can no longer cope with it.
The point is we have about half the number of hospital beds per head of population than other EU countries like Germany, France
