> They should emphasize on recovery rate and the fact that for vast majority of people it will be either asymptomatic or only mild symptoms. The government's job is to protect the health and safety of the community, right? How does a government do this by emphasizing that what is going isn't a big deal? We're still seeing 1,000 dead per day in the US, and they definitely aren't all old. Healthcare workers in their 20's and 30's are dying, this is definitely killing people that don't fall into your broad category of those whose lives don't matter to you. It's killing black Americans at a much, much higher rate than white Americans. Should we not care about that? And who really should get to decide which 0.05% die in this case? Do we not have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the country? The reality is that some ER doctors have had to make this decision. They had to decide between giving a ventilator to a young person instead of an old person. And the fact that we're still struggling to contain this and force our healthcare professionals to have to make these kinds of decisions underscores the fundamental failure that we are seeing as a society. A hundred people may have died in the few hours we've spent discussing this. They're dying as we type right now. Are you really suggesting that instead, we should focus on those who are living, and just forget that we're losing a 1,000 of our countrymen and women every day?
