> The simple truth is that I have no idea how to manage a pandemic in a city like Shanghai. I'm glad it's not my problem. Cop out answer. That this problem is difficult and accepting deaths will occur in any scenario is the entire point. In the very least you can’t take a moralistic hardline stance when it personally affects you and say wel it’s hard when it affects other people only. > The "economic opportunity" can go screw. Don't sacrifice my mom for that person's extra money. There are over a half dozen empty apartments next to our house, and dozens of families living in RV's a few blocks away. I make six figures and can't afford a to buy a home. You want me to risk my mom for someone else's "economic opportunity"? And you think I'm naive? I do think you’re naive. Because you’re saying you make six figures and this isn’t about you. It’s about the person making low five figures, or maybe no figures. Oh no, you can’t afford a house. That sucks, but it’s also far from the bottom. Your mom can isolate herself without a lockdown. She may get sick either way. I’m in Massachusetts currently entering its 4th wave. This stuff is endemic now. What’s the probability that your mom does not get covid with another lockdown vs the probability she does? Is there a level improvement? Is it just a delay? What’s the probability that another lockdown causes a child to go hungry?
