Still much less than the elders and I am not sure what your comment means. Again, what I am saying is that the lockdown punish purple differently, the most pun

Still much less than the elders and I am not sure what your comment means.
Again, what I am saying is that the lockdown punish purple differently, the most punished are the least affected by the virus itself
- sosborn 7y agoYoung people will die not just from the virus, but from inadequate medical care caused by overloaded hospitals. It’s a shit situation for young adults, but sometimes life isn’t fair.
- siscia 7y agoSure, but younger have less need of medical care in general. Moreover, lock down all the elders and the ICU won't be so busy...
- gnulinux 7y agoHow do you lock down elders? Do you expect cops to look at people's IDs and check if they're 65+? This is ridiculous, the only practical way is to close places where people are inclined to gather such as bars/restaurants etc.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoIf we can ban people under 21 from bars we can ban people over 65. I'm not sure we should, but it's not a logistical impossibility.
- sosborn 7y ago> Sure, but younger have less need of medical care in general. True, but that doesn't mean a whole lot of young people wouldn't needlessly die. You seem really committed to turning this into a generational thing.
- ska 7y agoDo you not consider it a "punishment" to lose your family members an avoidable way? How about avoidably dying when you have a car accident because the ICU is overloaded? Do you think people over 60 (or wherever the fatality rate spikes) existed in a self-isolated bubble staying home alone before now? Have you talked to any of them recently? The ones I know are having a rough time of it, at least as much as the younger people I know. If locking down "just the elders" was a workable solution, what do you think it would really look like?
