The “shut everything down and try to halt coronavirus spread” vs “keep it all open for the sake of the economy and other aspects of human wellbeing and endure COVID” debate is perfectly valid. But the “lockdown/restrict certain citizens—the old, the fat, the diabetic—while the rest go about life as normal is not. Life as normal for those given that freedom would maximize viral replication and spread thus necessitating the restrictions on the others. It’s an “us vs them” policy which the selfish and narcissistic here just love, it is obvious. But never forget it’s clearly an “I’ve got mine, Jack and f___ you” approach.
