Okay, there we go.

Who gets to define expendable. Lots of morality in making that choice, right?



Why such a black and white view of this?

Because that is the way morality works. Coloring morality in varying shades of grey is a one way ticket to perdition.

A Dr. performing triage in the yard is one thing. Painting red slashes across the foreheads of the community for selective execution is something different.


A bit dramatic, don't you think? Nobody is executing anyone. We are talking about a virus that you will most likely survive just fine, not a bullet to the head. And, if you are super concerned about it, you have every right to stay home and self isolate for as long as you want, until you feel comfortable with the level of risk involved in going out in public.
