I frankly see it the other way around. I want measures to relax precisely because I think about groups and not specific people. The psychological damage being done, in a society which doesn't have the tools to deal with it properly (and with this I mean pretty much the entirety of western society) is not even being taken into account. Quality of living for a good deal of society has gone to hell, I can't even take a walk in the park without a mask on (I happen to be Spanish). It's madness. Public healthcare psychology is not even brought up by GPs anymore unless you risk suicide, and even then there is a waiting period of several months. Suicide attempts are at an all-time high and the amount of depression and anxiety backing it up can't be overstated. I feel like we are pretending we solved the trolley problem all of a sudden.

In other words, "let the weak die...I'm tired of wearing a mask." https://twitter.com/kombatliberlism/status/1481570021490974722 https://twitter.com/kombatliberlism/status/14815700214909747... I am astonished how many people prioritize the social/pub/restaurant/movie theater scene over the literal survival chances of millions of people. I guess I should stop being astonished and accept that people are driven primarily by their desires and self-interest. Cast them into the pit, I want a cheeseburger.

  >I am astonished how many people prioritize the social/pub/restaurant/movie theater scene over the literal survival chances of millions of people. We all do. We have always done this. That's why drugs exist. That's why transportation exists. Life is not a "maximize your lifespan" game, it has never been.
