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.

I'm in agreement with you. I'm over 50, had several heart attacks and some chromic medical issues related to work injuries. That being said, in a pandemic, I would expect the government to treat those who are most likely to survive with treatment, than waste scarce resources on dubious patients such as myself. If a pandemic were to occur, all I ask from my government is to give me what I need at the time to make my passing as less painful as possible.
