May I ask how is your sex life?
I am friends with a few 70something men. It seems some are very interested in sex while others could care less.

It was non existent for 5 years after my wife passed away she basically meant everything in the world to me. Then I decided to see this amazing young lady who I have been seeing ever since plus some others. This works for now I am not interested in dating.
Up until this virus hit it was great. Not like when I was in my 20-30 obviously but all those years of being a jock is still paying off.
Btw I am a Montrealer I rarely post here, I was banned there recently for of all things shilling, wtf especially since nobody is working, go figure.
Ridiculous, but anyway some times you get on the wrong side of someone I guess, you really think at my age I would or need to do that.
Luckily I can see who ever I want to see and have my own connections through the SP.
For now it is safety first, I guess if I could go without for 5 years it won’t be so difficult to last out this virus.

Oh, if you're a Montrealer that answers my question. You've been getting laid a lot since you were a teenager. They'll have to push down your erection when they close the casket. Lol.
I have also been banned from the local MTL board. In my case, I enjoyed joking about the mods censoring comments and threads. This in The Lounge of all places. Needless to say, a mod who takes his job too seriously isn't going to find a joke about their censorship too funny.
Yes we are extremely lucky in Montreal, there are plenty of amazingly gorgeous young women to choose from.
I have been very lucky in finding some that are just fabulous to spend time with.

perhaps the atomic energy could be the death of us all. our destructive nature is only as good as our inability to do good and our ability to good is only as good as our ability to grasp the knowledge to do good
On that topic, I watched a series of videos from a science perspective on why we haven't been contacted or found any intelligent alien life. Along the lines of the Fermi paradox and the Great Filter, some speculate that life and intelligent species encounter a number of filters or existential threats and they haven't have survived long enough to communicate with us.
I think that the competition that our species evolved with means we tend to be more focused on our own events and less on the threats that we can't conceptualise. That and fear prevents people from accepting sources that contradict their views, no matter how scientific or substantiated it is.
Hate to break it to you, but Einstein did not say this. It is a Buffy-ism. That's right, Buffy the Vampire Slayer said it during an episode on her show, and then it gained wide spread usage in ordinary language - probably because it makes perfect sense.
This is not love of Darwinism Darwinsm has WINNERS -that is you use whatever you ahve to win. This is some kind of Nihilism darwinistic offshoot a cult of kali - where parasites are seen as the greatest form of life.
Yes/no - Western problems are a think - walked up hill back to school 8 miles both ways . ..
but these new threats of globalism are a different class - while this virus pales to a bio weapon which would be 1000 times worse -99% kill rate+ high spreed, long drown out death for maximum doctor kills - it is the fact we dont know when and if this will occur -this virus is worse than the Flu of 2018 in theory its only oure tech allows it to be less and more at the same time. Errors matter more than when it took 30 days by ship to get somewhere
I keep hearing comparisons to the Spanish Flu from various sources. I find a virus that killed children and oddly young adults far more terrifying.
The Spanish Flu probably had taken down many, many 80 year olds that it came in contact with. There just wasn't a lot of octogenarians in 1918.
Per archives.gov: In one year, the average life expectancy in the United States dropped by 12 years.
Yes of course, modern medicine has given many a chance with this new viral outbreak.
I don't want to make this virus out to be less than what it is as I have asthma and may not survive it but I think alot of people are making it out to be more than what it is. Let's face it, half of the pop is basically immune to it. Final death rate for the rest is unknown but will probably land somewhere between 3 and 8 percent . Also keeping in mind that nowhere near 1% has even got it yet, I do realize that more people are still to get it. My point is that the numbers just aren't there and I'm sure we will have a vaccine before they do get meaningful. The havoc on ourveconomy may cause more human pain than the virus does, we will see. People compare this to a war which is ridiculous. We are a pampered generation (boomers) that is lucky we never had to live through a war. We just have to be careful, take care of ourselves, live life day to day, enjoy the little things that come our way. This will eventually pass and life will go on.
I think that we will find that the mortality rate will be far less than the 3-8 percent you suggest. We won't know for sure until the antibody tests are rolled out. I've hear figures as low as 0.4% mortality rate which would make this about twice as lethal as the common seasonal flu.
I think you are right especially if you factor in the asymptomatic people. Imagine how low the death rate will be compared to world population. It will be statistically insignificant.
Coronavirus: German study shows COVID-19 might not be fatal as previously thought
Basically they are saying that the infection rate is way higher (15%) but largely undiscovered due to inadequate testing, thus the fatality rate is way lower than indicated by insufficient testing (0.37%).
Basically they are saying that the infection rate is way higher (15%) but largely undiscovered due to inadequate testing, thus the fatality rate is way lower than indicated by insufficient testing (0.37%).
The final fatality rate will be way less than 3 - 8%, and it is quite possible that way more than 1% have been infected already.
The fatality rate is the number of deaths over the total number of infected.
The total number of infected is not known.
There are many people who had no symptoms, many who had mild symptoms, and many who simply recovered without ever being tested/counted.
There has been so little testing that using the number on known cases in the equation is ludicrous.
Plus the very small percentage of people who have been tested are the ones who are most likely to be infected.
I don`t think we will ever know the real fatality rate unless everybody does the anti-body test when this is all said and done, and this is highly unlikely to happen.
Or at least do a comprehensive random test of a high percentage of people in a significant size area and extrapolate a reasonable figure from that.
That's certainly better than earlier estimates. If no actions to mitigate were taken, 0.37% still would result in a lot of fatalities. 1.9 million in the EU. 1.2 million in the U.S. 139,000 in Canada. Of course, we are taking actions to mitigate. The question is what should we be doing now and in the near-term.
I think we are doing the best we can but the big question is when do we risk opening up the economy?
If the fatality rate really was 10 - 20 times higher than 0.37%, we would have to wait way longer along the curve to risk it.
In which case, the cure could end up being way worse than the virus.
So this study could be very good news for those who will soon be opening up there economies, hopefully without overwhelming their health systems.
