Except not at all

2020-02-26 00:07:18 UTC  

All those folks dying of age in their 50s and 60s just needed to suck it up and do the blood-letting again.

2020-02-26 00:07:43 UTC  

People literally starved to death because they didn't have easy access to food

2020-02-26 00:07:53 UTC  

This occurs now yet, but less often

2020-02-26 00:08:05 UTC  

I am being somewhat facetious, I'd hope that can be seen.

2020-02-26 00:08:13 UTC  

Granted, here you can't take anything for granted.

2020-02-26 00:08:25 UTC  

Yep

2020-02-26 00:13:38 UTC  

Well we have people dying at 50 and 60 today so?

2020-02-26 00:14:21 UTC  

My whole point is its not modern medicine that allows you to live longer

2020-02-26 00:14:39 UTC  

Difference is, far fewer today than in the 1700s.

2020-02-26 00:14:52 UTC  

If you disagree with that, than I am sorry, but you are naive.

2020-02-26 00:15:27 UTC  

So a person in the 1700s who had acces to food and shelter

2020-02-26 00:15:30 UTC  

Died at 50

2020-02-26 00:15:31 UTC  

?

2020-02-26 00:15:58 UTC  

Yes.

2020-02-26 00:16:01 UTC  

While the same person today lives longer because of modern medicine

2020-02-26 00:16:02 UTC  

Or in his early 60s.

2020-02-26 00:16:12 UTC  

Okay can you tell me which medicine is saving us this hard

2020-02-26 00:16:39 UTC  

?

2020-02-26 00:17:11 UTC  

And what exactly killed them so early

2020-02-26 00:18:03 UTC  

In a lot of cases, small pox, 'big' pox (syphilis), and various other diseases like such. Even into the Early 1900s Smallpox, the Spanish Flu and similar were huge killers.

2020-02-26 00:18:21 UTC  

As for what was a huge solution...I could tell you, but you may very well not like the answer.

2020-02-26 00:18:27 UTC  

So I'll refrain from aggravating you.

2020-02-26 00:18:29 UTC  

Once again

2020-02-26 00:18:40 UTC  

I said had acces to food and shelter

2020-02-26 00:18:51 UTC  

Both of those diseases occured during times of starvation

2020-02-26 00:18:57 UTC  

And once again, I have said 'yes.'

2020-02-26 00:18:57 UTC  

And industrialization

2020-02-26 00:19:07 UTC  

And no, you're thinking more of Cholera there.

2020-02-26 00:19:08 UTC  

Where people lived in dumps

2020-02-26 00:19:11 UTC  

Which was also a major killer

2020-02-26 00:19:16 UTC  

but was not because of Miasma

2020-02-26 00:19:26 UTC  

No im talking about those two diseases

2020-02-26 00:19:41 UTC  

Syphilis was actually far more prolific among royalty.

2020-02-26 00:19:49 UTC  

For a very specific and not-too-pleasant reason.

2020-02-26 00:20:03 UTC  

And btw modern medicine didnt eliminate them

2020-02-26 00:20:12 UTC  

They vanished on theit own

2020-02-26 00:20:14 UTC  

Their

2020-02-26 00:20:15 UTC  

It did, but I'm not interested in arguing that with you.

2020-02-26 00:20:24 UTC  

How

2020-02-26 00:20:26 UTC  

You won't be convinced either way on that matter, so it is a moot point.
