LOL...some say i have turned into a hippy. Which i guess is ok with me if they think that. I just wish people would ask "why"? and not just assume.
You may find you need less sleep as you get older. I was like you 15 years ago. Now 5 hours sleep is fine
You are really 58+15= 73?

I was always one of those "night owls". I would get by on 2-4 hours sleep a night. But then i started reading up on how unhealthy that is. So i started going to bed at a reasonable time. It has made a big difference.
Although "old age" is not one of them yet, There are many vaccine preventable diseases

The World has gone mad and not the people who try to maintain normality. You are helping to cause and maintain the madness by buying into the climate of fear wholesale.
That's a perfectly valid viewpoint. JUST as legitimate and reasonable as yours, because you do not understand that you're causing harm with all this paranoid talk. IMBacon is the same.
And your attitude to disagreement is merely censorship and an attack on freedom of expression. There's no excuse for that and you can only justify it through the assumption that yours is the only viewpoint which is valid and correct.

That's a lot of talking without much content. Nothing I said had anything to do with fear. Where fear comes in is from people like you, that try to pass off your (quite pedestrian and non-scientific) notions of "well, I don't see the problem and everything will probably be fine, so just go on and ignore it like me".
If someone steps out of the way of an oncoming bus, are they afraid of buses, or just smart? When the metaphorical bus is microscopic and invisible, smart people still know to step aside...dumb people don't perceive a problem anymore. Apparently, about 1/3rd of the world is dumb at this point.

The fear itself is far more damaging than the object of the fear.
A fluffy statement borne out of fear of losing the status quo ...but, I agree.
Fear of worldwide economic collapse (not happening), government conspiracies (not happening), and medical science in general are far more damaging and propagating this pandemic, when it could have been handled by now if people weren't reacting like spooked cattle to every disruption to their daily routines.
"But masks will lead to a police state!"
"Vaccines might have side effects!"
"We have to resist this power grab by...a virus? No, wait, by the people protecting us from the virus!"
The article I posted about Texas and Florida having 40% of the hospitalizations now prove this exact point. The two states that are most resistant to following any measures are the ones that are completely fubar at this point. Hard data doesn't lie.
I am scared if I get vaxxed its gonna hurt me... I have gotten vaxxed multiple times and don't like getting poked on my skin with needles...
Well tbh my parents are anti-vaxxers so it's not like I have a choice lol
