Well, I have my Dad and Step Mom who both live in Phoenix and both in their late 60's\early 70's.
Both make the choice on how they want to live their life and I don't lecture the one way or the other.
As they have said, they are too old to merely exist through life for the rest of their days. Both have some form of underlying. Both are fairly active and healthy otherwise but they do have medical conditions.
What they told me was if they have to live like prisoners, being locked down, can't go here, can't go there, then at their age what is the point? Their fear I guess is by the time all this shit settles down and people are allowed to live their lives again they will be too old to live it the way they wanted.
Considering this primarily impacts the elderly I guess it's their opinion that matters over mine but it is what it is.
