as Covid is a hoax type person.

(1,379 posts)Although the death rate goes way up with age, in his 80s, Covid is still only deadly in less than 15% of patients, and the vast majority of those are in people with a comorbidity.
Thats still ridiculously dangerous, but Covid is NOT an automatic death sentence.
Without know Grassleys health history, outside his age he has a much greater chance of living, and surviving this disease. Hopefully he was serious about wearing masks, and social distancing, as some of his past statements indicate, and his viral load was somewhat low.
I am not downplaying how dangerous the situation can be, but its not all doom and gloom either.

(1,648 posts)Instead of working non-stop around the clock to make something of themselves. It's pathetic how those who have made it big and rich, disrespect all those after them for not succeeding after they changed all the rules to make it much harder to impossible on those following.
The 'I got mine, fuck you!' geezer needs to work that virus out of himself instead of wanting mercy, like he demands of and from others.
