[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m bothered by the tone of many of these posts, saying life just isn’t worth living anyway for people in nursing homes, and giving excuses why nursing home workers might be ill, like they weren’t “super fit.”

It’s a good thing we don’t make policy based on the prejudices of the young. Right now you might think life isn’t worthy living once you get wrinkles, but you may change your mind someday.[/quote]

Who has said that?! [/quote]

Yeah I don’t think anyone is advocating killing the elderly here.  If anything it’s focus resources on high risk populations, such as managed care facilities while carefully reopening states.  [/quote]

What about the other 50% of deaths?

If 50% are nursing homes, the other 50% are not nursing homes. [/quote]

Even outside nursing homes most of the deaths are of similar demographics.

The unfortunate reality is that we can't save everyone and people will continue to die from the virus. The identified high risk categories need to continue quarantining themselves and allowing everyone else to get on with life. The idea that we can declare "war" on the virus was always grossly misleading and a mistake. [/quote]
What would you have suggested instead?[/quote]
