Agreed. Look at the CDC's leading causes of premature death. A significant number are preventable (i.e., diet and lifestyle). Interesting enough, many of these are diseases that Covid 19 does well to exploit. If you are in good health, the chances of being taken to the grave by Covid 19 are rare.

What's odd is that the concept of comorbidies has been abandoned in the C19 era. There is little transparency when it comes to C19's co-conspirators.

Editorial: It troubles me when article after article about the high price is insulin fails to mention demand; and that close to all the demand created by Type 2 is avoidable.

Might there be manufacturer price gouging? Perhaps. But it's universally agreed that demand will increase price.
