No shit. I was being a bit flippant. No doubt it is different from a regular flu. My point was, there are no good options, only the least bad option. All choices we make have negative effects for different groups. Is death for someone who has lived a full life really the worst option? I am remarkably lucky. I am fairly resilient and being stuck working from home hasn't negatively impacted my mental health. I've been promoted during the crisis. I am financially secure. Not everyone is like me. Many people have suffered horribly due to the crisis, becoming unemployed, unable to see friends, they don't have their usual coping mechanisms. My point was, how we choose to deal with this is a choice, each choice has consequences. Currently we are saving older lives, at the expense of damaging the futures of younger generations. Is this the right balance? I don't know. I don't claim to know. But as a society, this is what we need to answer, how valuable is each human life. Should we choose harsh lockdowns to extend the lives of older people by x years on average? What is the cost in economic and mental health harm to younger generations? How do we balance these needs? These are the discussions we should be having, instead of decrying anyone who disagrees with the harshest of measures as a witch.
