Quarantine by choice is freedom. Quarantine by mandate is oppression!
I’m with them! Every so often I hear suggestions of locking up over 70s here, and believe me, I have no intention of going quietly.
Oddly enough, in the US I have noticed that the people most terrified of the virus are the young, even though older people stand to be more seriously affected by it (as with everything, btw - this is nothing new). It’s the young who are wearing charcoal filtered breathing masks and will run into the street rather than walk by somebody coming in the opposite direction. Very strange.
Yep. You never hear someone call a young person “cantankerous”. I’m one of those old people. We tend to know we are getting close to “game over”.
This life is a tiny portion of the life of the person. It’s like the womb, and death is the birth canal, and eternity is the life outside the womb.And it brings a reality that, for those within the womb, is unimaginable.
Of course, for those that don’t believe, well, this is all there is, and they tend to act like it.
This is happening already. Older people know this “crisis” is 90% baloney.
The last few days the Geriatric Rebellion has been evident everywhere.
But I thought the Democrats were going to stake ‘em out and, well, you know...let nature take its course, kinda like when a child survives an abortion attempt.
This article could just as well have been wirren about older Americans.
It is a disgusting display of the pro-death ethic lack of optimal care given the elderly in the entire West.
From the beginning of this epidemic, the entire class of vulnerables should have been given the care they need.
Masks, in house ppe equipment, dispersement to the extent possible and asap and when known immediately available plaquenil etc. as well as sterouds etc. Also, training for caretakers in handwashing .
What should not have happened is confinement in nursing homes with minimum wage, often staffed primarily with poor and foreign caretakers who are also exploited.
End the lock down and take your chances That’d the game of life.
Starting Monday, no mask, no Costco. Does one, out of childish rebellion, throw a hissy fit and cut up our card?
We are in our 70s. We played the isolationists for 2 months. May 1 was my granddaughter’s 7th birthday. We had the party at our house. My son and daughter and their families attended. We will still do the social distancing and facemasks in public but we will embrace friends and family for as long as we can.
They have to get rid of the elderly because the young ones might overhear them reminiscing about the good old days before socialism turned to totalitarianism.
The older people who are more likely to die from Covid won’t lock down but people who have almost no risk of dying have to lock down
Very true!
