When you go to a store and look around, so many Americans are obviously unhealthy (and not from Covid). Even non-elderly folks, half of them are shambling around like they just got trampled by bison. It’s become normalized but if you clear your brain for a second and think about it, this is just deeply odd. And disturbing.

Even in my lifetime it was not this way. It’s really gotten worse in the last few decades. When so many people are visibly unwell and debilitated, it’s no surprise that Covid’s mortality rate is so high. Many people have two feet and one arm in the grave already.
