So, many are getting Long Covid and senile Covid and dying from the 93% of the infections now in the U.S. that are the Delta Variant that I'm thinking those of us who survive will tend to value life a whole lot more if we can stay healthy through all of this the next few years.
We are going to have to watch approximately 1/2 of the people in America die or get maimed by Covid I figure. If you have studied probability theory at all you will sense that this is true.
So, Dr. Sangay Gupta's saying of "Get Vaccinated or get Covid" is likely absolutely true for most people in the U.S. over the next 10 to 30 years.
Why?
Because Covid-19 and all it's variants are endemic to life on earth now sort of like AIDS.
Except Covid-19 is much worse because it adapts to new variants every day somewhere on earth. So this time next year we might see a variant 10 times worse than the Delta Variant.
This is the problem we all face on earth right now.
However, I digress:
What I was trying to write about was what I experienced in India and Nepal in 1985 and 1986 when I was there were people were dying literally all around us while we were there. There were dead bodies on the street which often were not picked up because the culture is different where if you help someone you become responsible for them for life and you have to make them a servant or something to keep them alive. As a result people die on the streets a lot and bodies aren't picked up at all.
Note: This might have changed since the 1980s because I haven't been back since then.
But, what was also true about India and Nepal is that the people were VERYVERY ALIVE and grateful for every single moment they had left in life. They would talk to you on the streets because you were educated and from America!
They would beg you to take them to America with you and they would literally do ANYTHING if you would take them to America with you! However, most of these people didn't have identity papers because they were born at home. So, it likely would cost thousands of dollars to even get them identity papers and a passport to make them an au pair person to care for your family or cook for you in America.
But, the point is they were so alive and awake and grateful for each moment of life that they had left even if they were going to die tomorrow they were totally alive today.
This is why coming back to America to California was one of the most depressing experiences I ever had in my whole life.
I was medically safe but americans hide in their apartments and cars and don't walk on the streets much because they are afraid of getting mugged or harmed in some way.
People weren't like that in India or Nepal in the 1980s they were ready to fight anyone for one more moment of life every day they had left of their lives and this was remarkable and amazing and I miss people like that in my life every since I returned to the craziness of America.
Don't get me wrong! India and Nepal are both crazy but in an entirely different way than here.
Most people afraid of vaccines there likely are already dead.
It likely will be like that here within 10 to 30 years.
