Downvoters: you want your elders (and not just them) to die and countless others to suffer long-term consequences of a disease not yet fully understood just to earn some money right now and keep the endless rat race going as it is; you make me sick.
- wiseowise 5y agoAnd you make me sick with your ignorant, shortsighted vision of the problem. Reducing economic crisis to "just to earn some money right now" is borderline idiotic. I'm waiting for a time when we'll start investigating economic and mental impact on different layers of society.
- nradov 5y agoYou present a false choice. No disease will ever be fully understood; there is always more to learn. We can't keep restrictions in place indefinitely while waiting for more information.
- Thiez 5y agoDon't we accept that our children will die and countless others will suffer long-term consequences every time we take a car instead of walking? As long as the suffering is sufficiently vague and indirect (such as with air pollution and global warming) people choose to sacrifice themselves and others all the time. Covid is new, but this dilemma is old as time. Whether you like it or not, participating in the endless rat race is how some people are able to (sometimes barely) afford to feed their children, or pay for medical treatment. Do poor people make you sick? How about those who would choose quality of life over a little life expectancy? Some elders would rather see and hug their (grand-)children more often than live another two years in social isolation. Do you find such elders disgusting as well?
