I can't help but wonder if you'd feel the same way if the virus affected middle-aged male smokers the most.

I hear Russians smoke a lot. Your country is getting hit hard, too.

Worth reposting because it is dead on. As a matter of fact, I've seen all those negative responses in Jacks posts.

I'd be more worried that the government was getting really good at targeting demographics if it were so specific.

Well, [male, smoker] is a GREAT target demographic for heart disease - no government intervention required!

OTOH [female] is a great demographic for chlamydia - no government intervention required!

Nature often decides.

Middle-aged males though, without the elderly males too?

Not sure there are many ailments out there with those parameters.



I'm quite physically active for my age and I have a great diet. Sure... smoking isn't good for you, and I will pay for it for sure, but I can point out a lot of 40 year olds I know that are much worse off than I am, regardless of whether they smoke or not.
