Deaths for men between 20 and 64 from covid are 0.0099%. Thats 9.9 per 100,000.
The total for women the same age is 5.6 per 100,000.
Surely the most at risk should continue to be isolated which seems to be the plan now anyway and slowly everyone else returns to work as long as safe practices are adhered to. [Post edited 12 May 2020 18:56]

List of sexually active popes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
This is a list of sexually active popes, Catholic priests who were not celibate before they became pope, and popes who were legally married. Some candidates were sexually active before their election as pope, and others were accused of being sexually active during their papacies. A number had offspring. The Second Lateran Council (1139) made the promise to remain celibate a prerequisite to ordination, abolishing the married priesthood. Sexual relationships were generally undertaken therefore outside the bond of matrimony and each sexual act thus committed is considered a mortal sin by the Roman Catholic Church.
There are various classifications for those who were sexually active at some time during their lives. Periods in parentheses refer to the years of their papacies.

Background
Main articles: Clerical celibacy (Catholic Church) and Catholic teachings on sexual morality
For many years of the Church's history, celibacy was considered optional. Based on the customs of the times, it is assumed by many that most of the Apostles, such as Peter, were married and had families. It is clear from the New Testament (Mk 1:29—31; Mt 8:14—15; Lk 4:38—39; 1 Tim 3:2, 12; Tit 1:6) that at least Peter had been married, and that bishops, presbyters and deacons of the Early Church were often married as well. It is also clear from epigraphy, the testimony of the Church Fathers, synodal legislation, papal decretals and other sources[not specific enough to verify] that in the following centuries a married clergy, in greater or lesser numbers, was a normal feature of the life of the Church. Celibacy was not required for those ordained, but still was a discipline that could be practised in the early Church, particularly by those in the monastic life.
Although various local Church councils had demanded celibacy of the clergy in a particular area,[1] it was not until the Second Lateran Council (1139) that whole of the Latin (Western) Rite of the Catholic Church decided to accept people for ordination only after they had taken a promise of celibacy. This applied to the leadership of the Church.[2]

Saint Peter (Simon Peter) (30/33—64/68) Mother-in-law is mentioned in the Gospel verses Matthew 8:14—15, Luke 4:38, Mark 1:29—31 and who was healed by Jesus at her home in Capernaum. 1 Cor. 9:5 asks whether others have the right to be accompanied by Christian wives as does "Cephas" (Peter). Clement of Alexandria wrote: "When the blessed Peter saw his own wife led out to die, he rejoiced because of her summons and her return home, and called to her very encouragingly and comfortingly, addressing her by name, and saying, 'Remember the Lord.' Such was the marriage of the blessed, and their perfect disposition toward those dearest to them."[3] Yes[4] Later legends, dating from the 6th century onwards, suggested that Peter had a daughter — identified as Saint Petronilla. This, however, is likely to be a result of the similarity of their names.[5][6]
Felix III (483—492) Widowed before he was elected as pope Yes Himself the son of a priest he fathered two children, one of which was the antecedent of Pope Gregory the Great.[7]

Sergius III (904—911) Not married Yes (at least one) Accused by opponents of being the illegitimate father of Pope John XI by Marozia.[26] Such accusations found in Liutprand of Cremona's Antapodosis,[27] as well as the Liber Pontificalis.[28][29][30] The accusations are disputed by another early source, the annalist Flodoard (c. 894—966): John XI was brother of Alberic II, the latter being the offspring of Marozia and her husband Alberic I, so John too may have been the son of Marozia and Alberic I. Fauvarque emphasizes that contemporary sources are dubious, Liutprand being "prone to exaggeration" while other mentions of this fatherhood appear in satires written by supporters of Pope Formosus.[31]
John X (914—928) Not married. Affairs with Theodora and Marozia. No Had romantic affairs with both Theodora and her daughter Marozia, according to Liutprand of Cremona in his Antapodosis.[32][33](See also Saeculum obscurum)
John XII (955—964) Not married No Accused by adversaries of adultery and incest.[34][35] Benedict of Soracte noted that he had "a collection of women." According to Liutprand of Cremona,[27] "they testified about his adultery, which they did not see with their own eyes, but nonetheless knew with certainty: he had fornicated with the widow of Rainier, with Stephana his father's concubine, with the widow Anna, and with his own niece, and he made the sacred palace into a whorehouse." According to Chamberlin, John was "a Christian Caligula whose crimes were rendered particularly horrific by the office he held".[36] Some sources report that he died 8 days after being stricken by paralysis while in the act of adultery,[34] others that he was killed by the jealous husband while in the act of committing adultery.[37][38][39][40]
Alexander VI (1492—1503) Not married. Relationships with Vanozza dei Catanei and Giulia Farnese. Yes (at least seven, possibly ten) Had a long affair with Vannozza dei Cattanei while still a priest, but before he became pope; and by her had his illegitimate children Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, Gioffre Borgia, and Lucrezia. A later mistress, Giulia Farnese, was the sister of Alessandro Farnese, and she gave birth to a daughter (Laura) while Alexander was in his 60s and reigning as pope.[41] Alexander fathered at least seven, and possibly as many as ten illegitimate children, and did much to promote his family's interests — using his offspring to build alliances with a number of important dynasties.[42] He appointed Giovanni Borgia as Captain General of the Church, and made Cesare a Cardinal of the Church — also creating independent duchies for each of them out of papal lands.

Paul II (1464—1471) Not married. Alleged affair with a page Thought to have died of indigestion arising from eating melon,[43][44] though suggestion that he died while being sodomised by a page.[45][46][47]
Sixtus IV (1471—1484) Not married According to Stefano Infessura, Sixtus was a "lover of boys and sodomites" — awarding benefices and bishoprics in return for sexual favours, and nominating a number of young men as cardinals, some of whom were celebrated for their good looks.[48][49][50] However, Infessura had partisan allegiances to the Colonna family and so is not considered to be always reliable or impartial.[51]
Leo X (1513—1521) Not married Accused, after his death, of homosexuality (by Francesco Guicciardini and Paolo Giovio). It has been suggested he may have had ulterior motives in offering preferment to Marcantonio Flaminio.[52]
Julius III (1550—1555) Not married. Alleged affair with Innocenzo Ciocchi del Monte Alleged to have had a long love affair with Innocenzo Ciocchi del Monte which was a cause of public scandal. The Venetian ambassador at that time reported that Innocenzo shared the pope's bed.[53]

Benedict IX (1032— became pope in 1044, again in 1045 and finally 1047—1048). Not married No Accused by Bishop Benno of Piacenza of "many vile adulteries."[54][55] Pope Victor III referred in his third book of Dialogues to "his rapes... and other unspeakable acts."[56] His life prompted Peter Damian to write an extended treatise against illicit sex in general, and homosexuality in particular. In his Liber Gomorrhianus, Damian accused Benedict IX of routine sodomy and bestiality and sponsoring orgies.[57][verification needed] In May 1045, Benedict IX resigned his office to get married.[58]

When AIDS was at its worst I worked briefly in Botswana, which was as badly hit as any country in the world. But even then, many more people died on the roads than from the disease. I got invited to the funeral of one of my students, who'd died drink driving: everyone drove to the funeral, got drunk, then got into their cars to go home again. And then there were boy racers in daddy's Merc who would speed up if they saw any pedestrian with the temerity to try to cross the road within vision. And some of the roads in Gaborone were as wide as a Berlin thoroughfare - and little old ladies and primary school kids had to just hope for the best. |  | | |
