> Because it overwhelms the health systems.
The average victim of COVID is aged over 70 with multiple comorbities, i.e. precisely those people that the youth demographic isn’t enthusiastic about sacrificing their lifestyle for. If you simply triage that demographic out of treatment, then suddenly there is no especial burden on the health system at all.
- kjakm 6y ago1. What do you mean by victim? Death? If so, my point was about hospitalisations which happens to a larger age range of people. 2. Many countries have tried “shielding” vulnerable people. It hasn’t worked and it’s also incredibly difficult on those people. 3. The less vulnerable demographic needs to make sacrifices, just like everyone else. Why should they get to continue with their “lifestyle” while the older demographic get locked in their homes? I say this as a young person.
