I don't worry about about anything Annie. Except perhaps why I ran five minutes slower this morning than I did on Thursday.....
With all due respect to the people who have lost a loved one to Covid, I don't think the virus is all that serious. When you consider how many people have been reported to be infected (and I believe you can double or even triple that number) compared to the number of deaths. Many people who have tested positive didn't even know they had the virus, and didn't go on to experience any symptoms.
I also reckon that I've probably got a 90% chance of surviving if I did catch it, but I was a smoker so I like living on the edge and taking a risk.
I doubt that I will catch it though, because I spend most of my life avoiding people and visiting the wild places. So I believe that I'm in control of my destiny...
However, once the genie has escaped from the jar, nobody is in control, and the actions of others can have a direct effect on my health and destiny. Covid is just a bump in the road compared to the amount of people killed by radiation. If you take away the amount of people killed in the immediate blast zone of an atomic bomb as in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, you will find that there are still people dying today from the fallout. And those that didn't die a horrible death of cancer, their offspring are born mutated or disabled.
You can wrap it up anyway you want Annie, but the high incidence of cancer started around the same time as we unleashed radiation and atomic power on the world. Coincidence? Maybe, but I doubt it...
How about this for starters.....And we moan about a miniscule amount of Methane and CO2 polluting the atmosphere (natural elements by the way) If it takes hundreds of years to neutralise contaminated ground, has the fallout from all those tests dissipated already? The 'Save the World' crackpots ask me "Don't I care about the world I'm leaving to my children?" Of course I do, but the people with all the influence and power don't, and unfortunately the future belongs to them!
Number of tests
Since 1945, more than 2,000 nuclear explosive tests have been carried out around the world. The United States has detonated the most explosions—1,127—including the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Soviet Union is second with 726 tests.22 Sep 2017
