Do not want to sound cruel but if I have Dementia and covid takes me out, I would be ok with it.   Dementia is a long slow death and more painful to those around you except for one of my friends.   His mother law hated him and when she got Dementia should was crazy about him but she did think he was someone else.     It is not a pretty way to go out.

Not cruel at all in my opinion.  Dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc. are terrible.  As you said, long, slow death that is very hard on the family.

In any event, thoughts and prayers go out to his family.  May he Rest In Peace.

My Mother died of Alzheimer’s.  She was 89.  Terrible, terrible thing to witness.

I wouldn’t wish Alzheimer’s on anyone.  It is a cruel way to spend the last part of your life

Dementia is terrible. Had to deal with a few patients of that awful disease. You forget how to do basic things, including breathing.
