I agree with your sentiment, but those who die of "very old age" tend to not just drop over dead (I'm not being sarcastic either). I mean, usually those that die "because they're old" still die of a disease or condition they've been battling. For instance, two of my grandparents died at ages 86 and 85 of kidney cancer and bladder cancer, respectively (they both smoked in their youth and quit before age 30). If they didn't smoke, perhaps they would have lived longer and died of something else. But when and of what? Is kidney failure or heart failure a much better alternative? Is mid-eighties an unacceptable life-span to our society? I'm not saying either way - I'm just trying to get a gauge of what people's expectations are. Everything we do just delays the inevitable, since tragically death is a reality for all.
(As you posted elsewhere, I'm also very thankful this virus is sparing younger folks. And definitely don't want ANYONE to be a victim of this.)
