    We also need to take into account the guy is close to 90. He’s part of the high risk group.

    Edit: Honest mistake, I legit thought he was older than 81 and closer to 90.

      81 is an old enough age that you can make your point without just adding basically an entire decade to his age.

        I legit thought he was older than 81, my bad. But yes, either way, both are in the high risk range.

        Look, we all know Biden is basically a bajillion years old. Trump, on the other hand, is so young that he hasn’t even been born yet.

        It’s crazy to put into perspective what a small blip all this is compared to the age of the earth, which has existed since the beginning of existence and will continue until the end of time.

        Even our infinite and immeasurable planet is nothing when you compare it to the solar system, which contains everything that’s ever existed ever.

              I mean, that was the part of the post that would break the entire universe, so it stood out to me more than the other things.
