What your Uber driver may have failed to mention was the comorbidities present on that victim. Could they have had diabetes? Really is curious they lost their legs due to COVID - that's one I haven't heard of yet.

People die from disease. It's a fact of life. What is sad is that we seem to care more (via distruction of our livelihood and freedom) about 300k dying in the first year of a novel virus' presence than we do of the nearly 700k that die annually from heart disease.

In epidemiological terms most of the deaths are "dry tinder" anyways and would be dead within 6-12 months.

That's what I figured as it seems logical - the low hanging fruit will be the first to be picked.

Yep! But to give that fruit a few extra months in isolation they have drove hundreds of millions globally into poverty and starvation. And that is only one stat. Pisses me off.
