Figuring that in then the CV-19 mortality rate for the healthy population is less than 20 per 100,000. For heart disease and Alzheimer's it is 120. Stroke is 50. Cancer of all types is over 300. Diabetes type 1 is at least 37. If you want to protect people from CV-19 you need to protect them from those other diseases first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we feel as well, at least right now. The venue reached out to us a few weeks ago, and they seem hopeful and super on top of things. It's very reassuring. 5 minutes ago, N4L said: its a great time to get married other its an inevitability your anniversary will fall on a Sunday during football season lol That's why you marry a girl who loves watching football with you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to protect people from CV-19 you need to protect them from those other diseases first. I mean, sure, healthier people are better, yes. Heart disease/stroke have huge genetic components, you’re not fixing that aspect. Cancer? Sure some cancers can be reduced (lung cancer from smoking is the most obvious), but plenty or cancers have literally nothing to do with lifestyle. DM1 is not lifestyle based, it’s due to pancreatic dysfunction and is not preventable. Neither is Alzheimer’s. I’m just saying there are a lot of people walking around with conditions they have no ability to control and aren’t the result of poor lifestyle choices.

If you want to protect people from CV-19 you need to protect them from those other diseases first. Yeah the problem is COVID-19 is probably (hopefully) only going to be an issue for the next year or two and public health measures that would protect people from those other diseases take literally decades to make a dent in those numbers. And those public health measures largely fall into two categories: 1. Ineffective because they don't actually put any parameters around people's behavior 2. Highly unpopular because they infringe on people's freedoms So while I agree it'd be great if we had a healthier population that was less susceptible to COVID-19, flu, and other disease like that it just doesn't seem a realistic solution to the current situation tbh. If your point is that we need to allow preventative medical screenings to catch some of these things and treat them earlier, then I agree 100%, but these diseases will still exist in very large numbers in the population and put millions of people at increased risk and we are going to back to allowing those types of screenings and doctors visits across the country (in places where there were restrictions in the first place, which isn't everywhere).

Just a different perspective but for her marriage won't change things so she can wait. I, on the hand, would probably do the same thing as you.

Yes, that is my point. There are many diseases that are more dangerous and which cause the CV-19 to be vastly more hazardous. The current pandemic needs to be seen as another public health challenge to be managed with appropriate efforts in proportion with everything else.
