Coronavirus

Coronavirus Outbreaks

Over the past few months, like everybody else in the world, I am very concerned about the Coronavirus becoming a pandemic, which in basic terms infects the whole world, so I have added a link to a website which keeps people informed with the day to day updates, statistics and bulletins on where, who, how many people have contracted the virus so far.
For the past week or two when news reports tell of any new outbreaks and of course, tragically, the deaths too, if the reports give information on any deaths, they tend to be elderly people around the age of 80 years old. So this information prompted me to have a look at some statistics...
A SCREENSHOT FROM THE WEBSITE
These statistics are partly based on some actual (ages 70-80 plus) and possible percentages. I have not heard or seen reported anyone dying under these ages, unless they have certain health problems which you can lookup on the website I've linked to.

This does raise a certain and rather obvious point here. The world is becoming over populated and we are living longer, other factors are affecting the whole world, such as climate change, plastic in our oceans, deforestation, I could go on forever listing the atrocities the human race has inflicted on the world as a whole but I am not writing this to gripe about it. No! I am just drawing the facts to peoples attention and would like some feedback as to what you might think the reasons are why this virus has suddenly appeared and is predominantly attacking the elderly folk of our world.
