See for example this retired nurse who says that a pandemic would be a useful way to kill off many old people who tend to cause patient-flow ("bed blocking") in the system.

- mindcrime 7y agoI'm not saying there are NO examples of people who don't value human life. I was just referring to the context of the story the OP told in the original post. That, to me, didn't seem to contain much support for the "human life isn't valued" sentiment. Beyond that... all sorts of people have different moral/ethical systems. I suppose people who believe in some brands of utilitarianism can adopt the position you cite here, and feel that it's justified.
