[quote]There is a Greek proverb:
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.
The Boomer’s took that quote to heart, chopped all the trees down, and then demanded to know why the younger generations are bitching.

Was this ever SUPER clear to be a lone result - or did it accelerate or modify existing problems?
I'm not sure I've seen anyone die from "heart disease" related to COVID that didn't already have a heart issue. It's a fuzzy area at best.
