Sincere Condolences for the lady's passing and the partner's loss.
Many relatives, neighbors and friends here in their 80s and 90s are in perfect vintage health so far,
and the ones with serious long term issues, preferring to cash out ASAP before their memory and vital body parts go south badly and slowly,
as well as not wanting to be a further burden on families and the health system,
are wondering why this 'latest Corona thing' has let them down
FWIW and YMMV once you pass beyond 65 and have health issues, any exposure to extreme weather, injuries, depression/anxiety, infections, bad medication mix and heavy flu or bronchial issues,
can and will finish you off once and for all. And let's not forget those tiled kitchen slips and gardening/gutter cleaning ladder falls, to get the show on the road
Sometimes elderly people with no issues, just keel over and pass on,
whilst others in the same age and build group that are always at the doctors getting a fix, just keep going,
till their day comes to go too
and VISE VERSA applies too
Corona is getting too much credit as compared with the other 'confirmed effect' modern maladies that have been contributing to speeding up aging peoples demise for decades
More proof required to totally buy into this global panic flogging, not pages of statistics from questionable and conflicting sources,
backed by circus news media industry 'story' vendors, doing what they regularly do best..roll with anything that gets them attention and advertisers
