You misunderstand the current exercise. The only thing these stay at home policies are designed to do is keep the healthcare system from collapsing by slowing the spread of the virus. That's it since we are way past the point of having any hope of containing it.
Sure, the immediate beneficiaries are those at highest risk from the virus. But younger people who fall on the extreme end of the symptoms would also be dying at relatively higher rates too. Have no fear, once the powers that be are confident that society won't collapse, the stay at home orders will start lifting and life will go on... including allowing people young and old to die at 'acceptable' rates from the virus.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI agree with what you're saying, but it's not a misunderstanding - the original article really is saying that the stay at home policies are designed to contain the virus and won't end until a containment plan is in place.
