Capt. Tom wrote: “They are treating everybody in this country like they are over 75 years old in poor health, and need to be very careful of getting Covid.”

The only reason they are doing so is that a sizeable and vocal group are demanding that. They have bought into the narrative that the only way to protect the elderly is to enforce these protocols on the young.

Capt. Tom wrote: “I am 85, and have health problems, but young healthy people should not be held up from enjoying life.”

That’s not the conventional wisdom. Many believe that the young and healthy must sacrifice to protect the older vulnerable population.

Capt. Tom wrote: “Not to mention the destruction of our economy.”

These are usually the elderly with comorbidities who are especially vulnerable. I find it interesting that they have no qualms about claiming those who want to reopen the economy are selfish yet ignore their own selfishness.

They believe that any price must be paid to protect the elderly. Often I hear ‘but we can always restore the economy but we can bring the dead back to life’.

I find it interesting that facebook/twitter have ‘cancelled’ the stories about biden’s criminality because they don’t wish to upset the public which is exactly the same rationale given for banning my posts on cruise critic where I pointed out how misguided lockdowns, etc. are.
