Letting the old live their last few years happy makes more sense.
Keeping them locked up in nursery homes with limited contact to loved ones is immoral by anyone's standard.
A sure way to shorten their life.
How is that 'immoral by anyone's standards'? You are putting words into other people's mouths. To me 'immoral' is putting your short term discomfort ahead of someone else's life.
With older people dying within weeks or months, you are saying its better for them to live this painful couple of weeks than a couple more years? Another 10 years? Another 20 years? Its not like the few weeks or months of close contact with their loved ones will be comfortable. If they catch Corona virus it could be very uncomfortable.
Somehow you would prefer an older person to suffer 3 weeks of pain and then die because they got to see their relatives for a visit or two? Sounds a bit twisted to me. Somehow you think they will live for 'years' with Corona virus.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would think it would be better in the new world order to kill them all off instead of trying to protect them, but maybe logic does not apply in this case?
