Can you identify the one single moment in your life when you realized you stopped considering yourself young and rather old?

@Bushranger I can relate

@Pinkstarburst and when was that moment?

@Andromedanian My mother had the flu and I had to take care of my little sister.

@swirlie very existential, and your remark about covid, although it may provoke controversy here from those who believe that it is no worse than a bad cold. I know MANY younger people suffering from long-covid. We have yet to uncover or understand the breadth and depth of the effects of this virus. It took 20-30 years to understand the after effects of the 1918 influenza. Those victims did age out of proportion to what their genetic code would have led to.

@swirlie so sorry for your experiences and loses. I feel so frustrated in efforts to try to enlighten people on the dangers, and simple preventive measures!
