Yep, Im cold hearted, and Im over 60, and I couldnt care less about this panicdemic. We dont sacrifice the village to save the weakest among us. Lets just say I care as little for those you champion as you care about those who are trying to support their families. You really should change your handle from exdemmom, to simply demmom to to reflect your ridiculous liberal view of life. Life is tough, we dont sacrifice the herd to delay the demise of the sickly.
I am 66 and I agree with you wholeheartedly BRAVO!! Open this baby up NOW!!
And here, I thought callous disregard for human life was a purely liberal position.
Oh, FYI (since you only care about money): the economy will be hurt when tens of millions of people are too sick to work for weeks on end. And the people who have serious illness but survive with permanent disability also cause economic disruption, by becoming an economic burden that will never go away. With the choice between an economic disruption from the disease itself, or economic disruption caused by quarantine measures, the government chose the route that will save the most lives. I do not think the country will recover from the economic disruption caused by millions of people dying or becoming disabled as soon as it will by keeping everyone healthy so that they are ready to go back to work as soon as the pandemic is over.
