Disagree. The average age of death from covid seems to be pretty much the same as average age of death in a few countries that I have seen the comparison done (Uk being one of them).
Do you really think keeping someone alive in a care home (where most of the deaths occurred) for an extra year or so is the same as someone in tehir 20's being killed?
You seem to underestimate the suffering that the economic damage will cause. It's already predicted that more will die from hunger due to the measures that have been taken than from the virus itself.

- watwut 6y agoWars kill old people too? Specifically care home people end up dying from lack of nutrition, inability to escape. Old handle hardship of being refuge badly. WWII had higher civilian casualties then soldiers. That is not to remove suffering of soldiers, but people here tend to talk about wars as if it did not affected everyone living there.
- jay_kyburz 6y agoThere is no "economic" reason somebody needs to die of hunger. We may choose not to give food to hungry people, and we might choose to not pivot to food production.
- collyw 6y agoAre you going to get food to those people? I personally don't have the money to deliver it to all of them.
