> we are as yet unable to cure aging. How preposterous.
We put zero effort into anti-aging research but we moved the world for COVID. If we put the same amount of effort into anti-aging research, a cure to aging could be well within most people's lifetimes, effectively saving billions of lives.
ICUs were built to take care about acute problems and there is a silent expectation that most patients admitted into ICU care either die quickly or recover enough within 2-3 days to be transferred into regular care. Having people around on ventilators for weeks destroys logistics of ICU systems.
We put way more than zero research into anti-aging research. Granted, COVID attracted a lot more money and attention, but anti-aging research is gaining traction. And with the tech moguls of SV aging, you can bet on some extra investments.
I for one don't believe that people like Bezos (a notorious fitness and health fanatic) are just going to succumb to natural aging without a fight.
its a natural disaster or global catastrophe and its happened before.
we have also had the mrna technology for over a decade.
if we put the coronavirus effort into aging or global warming, we would not have solutions in 1year. masks and hygeine dont work for aging.
it is a totally different problem space and not comparable in the least.
