But day/weeks/month/years of life lost is not the same as what we understand if we say lives lost. Also we stooped helping people survives in the name of covid. Life extending treatments and surgery where paused to have resource for dying people. Whos gonna count the days/weeks/months/years these people lost? In the end everything just shifts number because we all die. I just think this virus mostly hit the people at risk of dying which should have been made it morally easier to let them die, rather than hurt others trying to keep them alive. But that's exactly what the western world did. I would understand it if children where affected. We would morally justify that someone with cancer dies a bit earlier if we can safe the life of someone who still has many years to come.
