RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Leonard Nemoy in 1979I agree with you, I'm not making value judgments. From a basic philosophical standpoint, a 90 year old has the same worth as a 30 year old. My theory is that more people will die this way, not less. There are estimates of between 200-270 million people (40 million will be children) in impoverished countries that will die from the economic disaster that results from the lockdowns due to supply chain disruptions, etc. That's a hundred covids. When germans bombed factories in ww2, did everyone lock down at home or did they realize more people will die if they don't go and work and contribute to the war effort?

This is dangerous although more so for those of a certain age and with pre-existing medical conditions. And so what? If life expectancy is 80 and you die at 60 does it make it better than someone who is 30? How do you measure somebody's worth? I'll take a 70 year old over many 20 year olds as far as what they contribute to the human condition.
