Do something tenth year that children were exposed to all kinds of infectious diseases against which today is cleaved and we know of them. When an individual has exceeded a critical age, it can be expected with a high probability that he will live a very long time, perhaps not, on average, much less than today's life expectancy. Two hundred years of peace and prosperity
