So unless millions of more people die this year then our actions aren't justified? That is just such a grim way of looking at the world. I don't know you personally but do you have anyone in your life that is very important to you? Maybe I'm just soft but ever since I had a child I really started looking at life differently. My wife and my child are everything to me and I'll do anything to keep my friends and family alive. I hate how many businesses are getting destroyed but the blame goes towards our government for only caring about short-term profit over the well-being of its citizens. We should have had emergency funds in place to give to all families each month.
The things that conservatives vote against and call communism are the things that would have been helping us right now. Once this is all over you'll go back to not giving a crap about most Americans again.
It’s not about that, It’s about cost versus benefit...Maybe I’m missing something , I’m open to new information..Let’s say 100 people die in a year on average, 6 months 50 people etc....So two months in a virus is identified...I goes through society and the world for 6 months..At the 6 month mark the total deaths are recorded and the count is 50...
Does that raise some doubt, we close down the world , which has a cost and a price to pay, but how could the death rate still be on par with other years..?
We all care about lives, but we all have a different opinion on how to minimize death..
No one who is saying let’s open things up cares less about life, we think we are preserving more lives by opening.
