The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

Quote:Stichill: What if more people would die while suffering through a depression than would die from the virus impacting the minority population with existing co-morbidities, the most salient of which is extreme obesity? An interesting factoid I heard is that more people over the age of 100 have died from C-19 than have under age 30. Let that sink in a minute. This virus is not an equal-opportunity killer. Some specific populations are vulnerable and others are not, but we have a one-size-fits-all public policy vs. something rational and evidence-based.
I think what you've heard is wrong. It's killing the more vulnerable, yes but it's also killing otherwise perfectly healthy people without underlying conditions. Heck, it killed a healthy one year old in my own county. The fact that you are seemingly willing to sacrifice even those that are more vulnerable disturbs me a bit but that's for you to live with.

It's clear that we have we have very differing opinions about this and we're not going to be the ones to solve things here so I'm going to drop it. I agree with you about many things Stichill, just not this.
