> Do the ends justify the means though? I'm not sure. > My wife has a single functional lung and very bad asthma. We are terrified. I have spent more than a little bit of time helping her down from panic attacks. Have you thought that it may be better for both of you that you _only_ have to calm her down? She is in a very high risk group. > …And yet, I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it. > How many people are killed by automobiles each year? 1.25 million. That's more than Corona is estimated to kill, right? Sure, but it’s not 1.25 million within 10 days having to be in ICU. Those 1.25m would effectively take away medical care from another, minimum, 1.25m. That’s what these measures are trying to prevent. Overcrowding the hospitals and limiting the critical cases. This is what happened in Italy. We can, of course, go about if anybody 60+ should effectively receive a death sentence when things go as bad as in Italy. But do you want to go that way? You can still go out and do stuff that is necessary to survive for 2 weeks or so. It’s not that bad.
