The good old days

Bearing in mind that almost all of us are senior citizens and so, it's fair to say, have a balanced view on life, I want to ask when were your best years ?
When you didn't have a care in the world and life was good !
I simply can't help thinking that the present pandemic situation is being distorted, for what ever reasons .
Only you know when your best years were. Here are a few numbers to try and put things in perspective, for YOU:
Taken from the total death rate per 1,000,000 head of the UK's population, because of the ever increasing number of people, the only relevant way of presenting such a statistic and extracted from the UN's own World Population Statistics:
Year. Deaths per million (on average roughly 1% every year)
1950 11282
1955 11695
1960 11697 *
1965 11794
1970 11789 *
1975 11873
1980 11844 *
1985 11656
1990 11402 *
1995 11053
2000 10453
2005 9858
2010 9238
2015 9179
2020 9413 to date.
The point being, if you felt good in 1960, '70, '80 or '90, there is no point in worrying about this silly virus, even if the numbers have 'returned to their 100 year average' or thereabouts.
Eat drink and be merry, that's our aim
