| Second reply here because I finally understood your comment and what you meant. I suggested selective care based on cost and quality of life. That's the logical way to do it even if you think it's immoral. You believe non-citizens shouldn't be helped? Why? "Because they don't contribute with taxes". There are many people who are citizens who don't contribute. Illegal aliens also provide a workforce for vital food production and other jobs that help the economy (regardless of if you think it's wrong). You also had a issue with fat people because it's their fault. What about people who speed and crash? Skiers who fall, horse riders, any optional activity that carries risk falls into the same category. --- "For example no lockdowns, that sacrificed young people over old" Young people were thankfully much more resilient to Covid
but was this wasn't known initially when the strictest lockdowns were put in place. Health officials were being cautious. What were to happen if there were no lockdowns? Certainly more deaths of old people but also adults in their 40s, 50s, 60s to a lesser extent. As for the mental toll on young children- the total lockdowns didn't last long, you could go out and meet in small groups even during the initial phase. Many people didn't even care or follow the advice after the first few weeks. However, kids were remote learning for much longer but if that causes development issues what about home schooling? What about kids in remote areas? What is the specific situation and time frame that cause your child's development issues? I'm admitting there was a not insignificant mental toll on children, as this study shows[1]. You need to weigh this against the alternative of less or even not having any lockdowns and lack of information when these decisions were made. This means that using data you have now about the affect on children and how Covid 19 affected different age groups as a criticism, which I don't think is valid |
