TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): The median age of death for coronavirus in this country is 78 years old, as it happens 78 is also the life expectancy for all people in this country. In other words it's dangerous to be an old person who has the coronavirus, it's also dangerous to be an old person, period.
At some point we are all going to die. Dying is the central fact of life. Unfortunately a secular society has no answer for that, no explanation and no comfort to give us in the face of it. So no wonder we're so terrified. But what if we were less afraid? What if the news media weren't frothy in a partisan frenzy a month before an election? What if we could think clearly? What kind of conversation would we be having then? We might have some very tough questions for our public health authorities.
