> It's funny how the only global crisis deemed worth shutting down society over is the one that impacts 65+ year olds

Many young people have grandparents whose lives they value. I am sure our son would be very distraught if one of his grandparents died, even though as a six year old he is at basically zero direct risk from this disease himself.

(And yes, he will inevitably have to deal with that distraught eventually... but much better at 16 or 26 than at 6.)
