i Was asking about Iceland. And i corrected the post to include /r for rhetorical question.
Otherwise, if 80,000 die it was not worth destroying the economy for. People die everyday and we accept it as part of living.
I’ve had family members die that i am sure if the government would have spent 5 million to save their lives that MIGHT have possibly lived. WHY did YOU let them die? How can you live with yourself?

We don’t, and that is one of the drivers of health insurance costs: Collectively, we all want bleeding-edge treatment, and every possible effort, when we pretty much only pay fixed costs. There’s no decision just to let people go, including ourselves, based upon when the costs become unreasonable.

When we paid for health-care directly, we used to make those decisions - now it is left to a bureaucrat and some lawyers to decide (or worse, government functionaries), in part based upon whether you fit a preferred class or victim status.
