In just a few more days we will all see what will happen. How many of the US deaths had severe illnesses or health complications already? It doesn’t make it OK , but it puts in it perspective.
Yes, it does. Just so we all remember that many, or most even, with comorbidities might have well lived into their eighties or (fewer) possibly nineties had they not caught this terrible virus. Some maybe robbed of a couple months, many more robbed of many years or possibly decades.
Yes it is nature's way. But we should be taking any measures possible to mitigate the loss of life.
A route that I am comfortable is being charted as well as possible by our esteemed President.
Actually, respectfully, no we should not be taking any measure possible. In this country every day ,loss of life is weighed against factors. For example, it is a given a certain amount of people will get cancer and die every year just from pumping gasoline into their vehicles (the list very long) . Risks are part of everyday life. Many Americans aren’t comfortable literally shutting down the economy because it MIGHT save a life. Crazy stuff 😄
The difference between personal choice and consequences and societal choice and consequences, is the latter is done by someone else. Really, in every case, it’s done by someone else, no matter your level of engagement. Regardless of the outcome, this chapter is likely to be one of the greatest events of our lives. More than what it is, but how we react to it, will set a vector for our society.
