So, forget slowing the epidemic, screw the healthcare workers that'll get the brunt of the caseloads, and the overloaded hospitals, screw the ones who will die

So, forget slowing the epidemic, screw the healthcare workers that'll get the brunt of the caseloads, and the overloaded hospitals, screw the ones who will die in excess of what we can actually prevent, just because you feel it's inconvenient.
Thanks for self-identifying. I'll be sure to exclude you from anything I can think of, since you're willing to sacrifice random strangers for your own comfort.
- luckylion 7y ago> since you're willing to sacrifice random strangers for your own comfort Come on, so are you, and so is everybody. Are you ready to not have modern life because traffic deaths of random strangers are necessarily part of the package? This whole situation turns this site into Twitter, another corona victim.
- zentiggr 7y agoWow. You seriously think I'm that selfish? Or that I'm any less serious about wanting better for everyone even when it's not on this site? I'm not exactly deprived in my 95 percent home situation, but yes I'll give up whatever i need to if friends family and strangers everywhere survive because of what we do.
- luckylion 7y ago> I'll give up whatever i need to if friends family and strangers everywhere survive because of what we do. So a homestead, amish-style, it is? I do understand the sentiment, but we (as a society and individually) absolutely accept that strangers will die because of how we (as a society and individually) live. We just don't like to speak or think about it, because it's not compatible with our self-image as selfless, hyper-moral beings. But given the choice between a super market nearby and zero traffic deaths in the country, we all know which on we will choose.
