Agree totally with you, let’s keep a sense of proportion, 98% of people might get a bit of a cold, the other 2% me included, might suffer more but we would if we got a “normal cold” or the flu.
I would prefer not to spend my last months in solitary confinement.
Why should we risk total disruption of society to delay the inevitable.
I'd suggest that anyone who really believes that (many do) rather than playing devil's advocate would be advised to read the final paragraph of Rishile's post #170 (which echoes what many experts are saying) and contemplate the implications of that.
Then have a read of this thread -
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=826176- which confirms that in "normal" times (not so long ago) it was deemed utterly unacceptable by society that we aren't able to continue increasing everyone's life expectancy forever.
On an individual level many people may well feel they have had a good life and don't want to go on forever. But our society has developed an obsession with preserving life at all cost. Current events are going to be a massive shock to that belief system.
So 'society' is going to be totally disrupted whatever we do.
What matters is getting the balance of impacts on different groups of people right, so the society that comes out of this will be recognisable and something the survivors (by far the majority) will be comfortable living in.
