I keep wondering how the pandemic will affect public opinion. I think it’s an opportunity. Excess deaths and total death rates are being reported to wide public for the first time. Czech Republic is one of the worst affected countries, it has at times doubled it’s monthly death rate. If people mourn and are angry about the half that died from covid, will they be more opposed to the other half dying of other causes (most related to aging). Covid of course is linked to aging as well.
I wonder, but I’m not sure. The “death is a natural part of life” is an extremely strong narrative, a coping mechanism really.
- beaconstudios 5y agoDeath of old age /is/ a natural part of life, but so was high infant mortality until we found solutions to that. The problem is that until we actually have solid proof of anti aging science, people will continue to believe it's part of life.
