The question is not whether they are mutually exclusive but which takes priority. PDJT rightly says “The cure cannot be worse than the disease”.
Old and sick people die more than young people, that’s the nature of life. Saving them from dying of COVID doesn’t save them from dying of other things. With a functioning economy things can be done to protect old and sick people, but there are millions of old and sick people and you cannot protect everyone.
We agree.
