I wonder how this trend plays out in the long run. I.e. how many of the 0.3% were due to die in the next few years because of existing health conditions?
It's interesting how people reacted during the pandemic.
While I sympathise with anyone that has a loved one that is vulnerable to disease (I certainly have some!), one could make the case that many lives could be saved by banning sugar and forcing mandatory gym memberships. You could argue that one is within our control vs the other - but you could also argue that many are not in control of their addictions (food for example) as well.
The scariest part of it all for me was the way government quickly attempts to rewrite the rules and gain control. Being in Melbourne where the gov tried pushing through a bill to give them seemingly unlimited power during "emergencies" (as defined by them) was really crazy.
