You are completely twisting around what my point is. I never ever said let the old just die.
Again my whole point is......for the last time.....I will summarize my points here....covid-19 is more contagious than flu, but it is killing far less percentage of people than did SARS, Ebola, bird flu etc, it is almost not killing any healthy adult under age 60, and therefore we do not need to crawl into a shell and abandon activities we enjoy. And the Trump admin has been far more active and taking preventive actions lot sooner than Obama admin did for the pandemic which occurred during it’s 8 years.
Yes, CV is less lethal than the other diseases you listed, and yes it is far more contagious than the flu. But it is also far more contagious than those other diseases and that offsets the “good news” that it is not as lethal.
I think you are being short sighted about the ramifications of this and the demographic it affects. For example, my church is chock full of old people. My wife is immune compromised to some degree. So even though I and my children are unlikely to get seriously ill from this, we are surrounded by people that are. So if I go bopping around in the midst of this outbreak I put people around me at risk. It’s not the flu, which as I have pointed out, is endemic to the whole world. It is much more dangerous, but not yet endemic. Slowing it down gives us time to come up the countermeasures. That will save lives, including at-risk people’s lives. So denigrating and belittling people as they try to assess the threat and diminishing the threat itself are not helpful.
I haven’t seen a single serious post blaming Trump for any of this. Yes, a few of the resident nut jobs have asserted that the evil gub’mint gonna kill us all and such, but no rational person thinks Trump is in any way responsible for this. And, frankly, the responses to Dem, MSM and Deep State assertions that it is somehow his fault are laughable and easily countered.
