I’m sorry, I forgot the lives of people over 75 aren’t worth anything.

  Children are the future. We must protect and elevate them above all. Locking them up did much more harm than good, and it also strained their parents immensely, the people who are in their prime earning years. Old people could have been even more protected while the rest of us continued on living. The emergency money could have been spent on providing more services to the elderly. Instead they were locked up with little help. In 2021 40% of Covid deaths were in nursing homes. And finally, if you’re past the life expectancy and you know you may only have a few years left, would you spend it locked away isolated from your friends and family, or would you try to make the most of it, knowing that whatever happens you’ve made it further than most already? Many elderly were interviewed and were upset by the lockdowns for this reason. The average covid victim was in this very situation. Why did we take away their agency in their final years?
