We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

:-) whatever, bro. I don't know what tomorrow holds any more than the next person. If I wake up I go out and take on the day as most people do. I don't overly concern myself with things that are not in my control.

You spend a lot of time in here for someone not concerned about this.

That was a terrible take to his argument. Also why do you think they are all WW2 vets and\or the Wives of vets? Or maybe you don't care about them unless they are such????

That's literally the generation we're talking about being hit hardest by this. They may not all be vets, but they're all in the generation who DID come together as a country and make huge sacrifices for the greater good.

But fuck 'em. They're old.

Yeah, the straw man of "they're old so screw them" gets pretty worn. I don't see anyone saying that but you have your reasons for doing so....I guess

Not sure how you interpret "80 year olds dying abd 8 year olds dying doesn't have the same impact." That sounds like "they're old so screw them" to me.

I interpret it the way any normal person would. One has lived 80 years and longer than a lot of people. One has lived 8 years and much shorter than most people.

I am sorry to tell you but one 8 year old is worth ten 80 year olds and I bet you those 80 year olds would all agree with me.

You say it sounds like "screw them" because you want it too. The facts are this DaFace, this virus does impact the elderly. A person in their 80's will tell you their life is not worth a person who is 8. Cold, hard life will tell you a person their 80's is not worth the life of a person who is 8.

That's not uncaring. That's just a hard fact of life. And the point he is making is 100% correct. If this disease was killing children at the rate it is killing elderly people you would see hell and high water being moved to stop it. That doesn't mean people don't care about the elderly. That means you make a rational decision that a person with 70+ years of life ahead of them is worth more than a person with 70+ years of life behind them.

Unfortunately at times that decision has to be made and it's not fun and not fair but neither is life at times.

I don't know any elderly person that wouldn't give their life for a child.

My issue is that this is NOT the decision that is being made. There are no 8 year olds dying that the 80 year olds have to save. The kids are fine.
That's why I have a major issue with this whole idea that it's acceptable to not care as much because they're old.

Could we care about old people AND kids? Is that a possibility?

It was all fun and games when it first started. Now 125,000 people are dead and people are making the same arguments and think it's not a big deal. You'd say it's unbelievable but I guess it's not. A complete lack of compassion for their country or other people. Only for themselves.
Let me guess, the mentally ill all reside on the right... correct?
