Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

Yeah, always leary of those claims. And to your point, at what price in quality of life?

Yeah, we often hear we are living longer now yet many I see are not really what I call living. Now out here, away from the City, to see a 90 year old on a tractor is amazing to me...most are pretty healthy out here, all eyes are on me, the fat guy...LOL

I went from 170 most of my life to 220 in less than 3 years due to A) being sedentary working from home and taking care of mom and B) on hyperthyroid meds which slowed my metabolism big time.

In the process of getting off the thyroid meds and getting serious about exercise

Funny, but we have similar weights...I am 5' 10"
But I believe the meds I was on did not help. Since I got off Statins, I have noticed, not much, but a drop in weight. But this is also with me turning down deserts too. I will say, no more muscle craps since I got off those things...

You know, if you can call this exercise, our pool requires alot more maintenance than our previous pool did. Now with the leaves falling, even more. Add all the limbs we pick up too :) We are outside much, much more out here, I can say I feel much, much better too. Fresh Air, love it. Well as long as you are not downwind any livestock, lol

Then on the flip side of the coin, do I want to be alive in my 90s? I guess, yes, but only if I have my mind still and am not dependent on others. Only the Lord knows my future...

Ok, so this is funny, or maybe not, or just to me, we have an outdoor shower which I use pretty much most of the year, keeps me from having to clean/squidgy/wipe out our indoor showers, haha, anyway, we are in the low 50s here this morning. No wind, so I figured why not. Well it is cold enough without being wet, add water, lol, man was it cold.

Stupid me, my clue should of been the smoke/vapor I was blowing when breathing before I even got to the shower.

I AM WIDE AWAKE NOW!!! haha
 
I have the canal… but wait…
 
Other studies showed a correlation with cancers going into "turbo" mode.... Hmmmm
Interesting.
indeed.
An Extra Year is nice, I guess, depending on the suffering...just not sure significantly is the right word to use here though...

I came in to post the same snippet-- That is actually longer than I expected. "Significance" (in science) means greater than 5% difference that can't be accounted for from natural variance. A lot of cancer drugs / immunotherapies market themselves as giving you the chance to live longer. Often that is only months more than the average lifespan for those with similar disease levels.
