I'd find it harder to tell a young healthy person they had to lose years of life, their job, their house, than to tell a 70 year old or obese person we aren't doing that to spare them. And you're right, rage is the correct word. Me and lots of others are enraged that years of life were taken. The old people in America already got enough at everybody else's expense. I want my 2 years back and I won't stop being angry until I get it. And a whole lot of people my age feel the same.

“Old people in America” were heavily impacted but. I can tell you don’t work in health care, as they aren’t the only people that suffered either directly or indirectly . My grandfather, who served in WWII until he was shot, never said he “wanted his time back”(inherently flawed logic). Years of his life and a chunk of his health was taken for something he hated doing but needed to be done. My other grandfather left Eastern Europe in the 1930s and I can remember friends of his that had numbers tattooed on their arms— my aunt was permanently childless for reason I didn’t learn until I was older. Since forever, senseless things happen to people. Some become victims.. Wearing masks and no dinner-and-a-movie sucks. Loss of jobs is real. In the absence if mask mandates and shut-downs, would the economy have flourished under the pandemic? I dont know. I am confident it wouldn’t have been a panacea for the young or old. We have it really good here, in the context of what is going on in Europe right now I think about this a lot. I hope you find happiness.
