You know a different set of 85 year olds than I do. Most of the ones I know would shove the babies out of the line to get their shots.
Exactly. And demand to be first for food and transportation. They are SENIORS afterall.
Anyone here who is complaining about letting the seniors go, I personally think that in a pandemic, it should be non-breeders. Period. If you can't produce a child, and resources get scarce, you don't get treated.
I'm saying this as a woman without a uterus. I would rather die than let the human race be without the means to thrive. All I ask is something to make my passing easy.
Think about it.
Where in Florida do you live?
Personally, having been to school when Lifeboat Ethics was a required course, I can be ruthless on paper but would not want the decision in person.
And I would not judge someone’s fitness by age. A fifteen year old who is morbidly obese and in poor general health may be a much bigger risk than a 70 year old health nut in top condition.
And by the way, it is my esperience that the people doing the pushing aside and trampling are young men wearing iPod Binkies, who will gladly trample young and old, men and women, babies and small children because their Mommies told them they are Special....
I'm just a few months shy of that magical age of uselessness you all are so facinated with, and I really love to hear what the opinion of the "me first" generation is of us. It's kinda funny.
