Unfortunately we may be required to deal with these problems in the abstract. We have crippled the global economy. We can't throw tens and tens of millions of people out of work and destroy their livelihood and make them lose their homes and even become homeless just to save a few elderly people. That is the hard choice we are going to have to face in due time.

You should be an insurance actuary.  Or an airline executive, where they do calculations of how much a particular part or repair costs vs. the value of human lives.

Sorry but I think my immuno supressed 70 year old dad is worth saving.  As is my cerebral palsy stricken, 30 year old brother.  Unemployment can be fixed; remember the WPA?  Death, alas, is permanent.

Am I worth saving?  I'm only 50 but I have an underlying condition.  But I also have two kids who are still young enough to need their mom.  Alive, even if unemployed.[/quote]

We need to save our elderly and sick. But something tells me than dropping cash from helicopters, it would cheaper, more fun, more effective for everyone if they sent them to Disneyworld, Hawaii in quarantine while the rest of us young folks build up immunity and keep the economy going.[/quote]
