4. Dementia
5. COVID
6. Death from old age having escaped the previous 5.
I’d take 6, and 5 would be a very close second. Before you trot out the « you can’t catch cancer » trope. At least 30% of people in the country will get cancer and the survival rate isn’t 98.5%. Dementia is fast becoming even worse.
So focus on the things, and fixing the things, that will really kill you. Also possibly don’t ride motorbikes either. I got rid of mine 8yrs ago and my life chances improved greatly.

Just repeating the statement that the biggest cause of death in the U.K. this year is "mild" doesn’t make it true…
In response to your "game", we don’t get much of a choice about 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 - we can have a choice about 5, and our actions on that choice impact others.

‘Living to live with Covid’ does not mean more lockdowns. It means learning to live with the reality of life.
Snowflakes need to recognise that they have to melt eventually.

People can disagree on approaches to COVID and it’s impact without making derogatory comments - you should try it…
