> YLL is a horrifying metric because it values someone who is 20 over someone who is 60. Not to my father, who is in his late 60s and the most at-risk member of the family, and who has been more opposed to the lockdowns than any of us. His calculation is that at some point - for the good of the family, long-term - the economic damage and delayed social development of his grandchildren outweigh his personal safety. I have encountered very few older people who don't also think this way.
