Many of their constituents are being devastated by the economic impacts of the virus while experiencing little to none of the medical impacts, and are watching their livelihoods slip away. Others are being dramatically impacted medically, even to the point of losing friends and family members to COVID-19. Any decisions made to benefit one group will seem cruel and insensitive to the other, and there doesn't seem to be enough acknowledgement of the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" nature of the situation we're all in. Maybe I'm being naïve, but it feels like we could all do with a little more empathy.
