In my family there are four grandparents in their 70's with various health problems, and my two young children. All four grandparents have commented that they're relieved that this virus appears to target old people more than children, and we'd all consider it to be at least less bad news if the numbers confirm that. My father in law, who is a doctor, remarked that he's less concerned about losing his own life because he's "already lived 90% of it". I'd never want to have to decide whether my parents or children get to live, but if I did, I'd choose my children in an instant. These are our opinions -- no more or less valid than your own. Do you suppose we, or anyone else for that matter, cares whether someone like yourself thinks we're "heartless"?
