So. Question.
Whats if there is is another outbreak.
Unemployment is getting bigger and bigger.
Whats happens when the money runs out?
I dont think if they lift restrictions they could go back to restrictions again.
There will be nothing left to go back to again second time round.
Can we afford another 3 and a half weeks where we are?
Really happy if im wrong !!!
I agree with something Hydro said .
And most of what Mick said.....but I'm to pissed to write a logical reply.
goodnight
I have a respiratory condition that would would knock me for a six and out of I got the rona, no medications taken.
My missus has a life long auto immune condition, no medications taken.
Regardless of these underlying conditions that would increase our risk we would be happy to have the risk attached to ensuring that a second or third wave did not decimate our economy, the kids livelihoods and ability to provide for their families. And I dare say that most people in our position have expressed a similar sentiment.
My Dad has 35% heart function and is missing one lung, walking pharmacy, same outlook.
In essence this little critter picks on the weak and old, engineered right out of Charlie Darwins survival of the fittest, which is somewhat of a reason to believe that it was no accident. Yeah tin foil hat time.
If you take a realistic look across society and compare it to even 50 years ago the number of people in todays world that are alive soley due to medications, treatments and technology that did not exists is staggering. Covid19 takes away the technology and medication advantage that supports the live expectancy of these people, me and my family included.
My wife and I have made a conscious decision in our lives to not take medications to prolong our existence and also our impact on those around us, in care, use of resources, costs etc.
I know everyone will not agree with the inference but one can not help but ask as dumb dumb Trump did, "is the cure worse than the disease?".
In both world wars young, old, healthy and infirmed all made the ultimate sacrifice to protect freedoms, what exactly are we trying to protect today other than peoples emotional well-being trying to ensure that they do not loose loved ones? And also a health system that would be otherwise overwhelmed by the initial spike in death rates?
If we are at war as our illustrious leaders have touted then we need to be primed to expect casualties, and also e prepared to become one of them.
That or we simply give up our freedom to protect the fragile existence that nature would have already dealt with.
I know, long winded and harsh in many ways. But we need to look beyond our own individual existence and at the greater good of humanity and society, and be willing to wear the responsibility and consequences as our ancestors did.
Take this in the spirit that you made your Darwin comment with
Look after yourself and stay safe. Most people would rather have you around than a few $ in the bank.
Lives before economics in my book. All economics is a trade off between the short term and long term any way.
In this case the equation changes to include the social cost of deaths.
