This is such a simplistic take on the virus. There’s not just the death rate, there’s also the lingering health effects many people are experiencing after getting over COVID. There’s the fact that it’s not just affecting elderly people, setting aside the suggestion that the elderly are expendable. There’s also the fact that in many places in the US it’s pushing the medical system to its very limits. In North Dakota the governor asked nurses who are COVID positive to go back to work because they are so short staffed [0]. What about their personal freedom? What about the people who don’t want to work in an environment that might put them or one of their loved ones at risk? You talk about living in a bubble but you don’t seem to consider the teachers, first responders, medical workers, who have to make the choice between working during a pandemic or losing their livelihood. None countries you mentioned didn’t descend into authoritarianism by enforcing restrictions during a once-in-a-century pandemic.
