Do you believe that, if the numbers had been reversed, and COVID was much more fatal to children and young people than it was to the old, lockdowns wouldn’t have happened? That seems to be the implication of your post, but I find it difficult to imagine that being the result.

- _-david-_ 5y agoI'm not who you were responding to but I think if covid was more fatal towards children than adults we would have seen far less opposition to lock downs. I am not sure what the current number is but at the beginning the average age of death from covid was around the average life expectancy in the US. I am not saying we shouldn't take actions to avoid getting old people sick, but it is hard to justify completely stalling the education of children in that situation. If children were dying from at high rates people would have found hurting their education to be more acceptable.
