I'm in the 'High Risk' category and can also understand what Eevo is alluding to.

i don't think some have a grasp on just how dangerous this pox of a thing can be

how many thousands have to die before the equation is balanced / justified ?

Its not a view nor is it emotion, its simply a question. I haven’t given my view on the topic but trying to understand the views of all.

So what dollar amount would you put on a life?

I too am in a 'High Risk' category and understand perfectly what Eevo is alluding to. [bigsad] If he wasn't our resident pet troll/conscience one could even be lured into taking him seriously [bigwhistle].

Kill off the oldies/infirm to make life easier for the youngies. Hitler and Pol Pot tried similar genocidal strategies but it didn't work out too well for them or their countrymen.

As I noted in an earlier post, one measure of the level of civilisation that a society achieves is a measure of how they treat their very young and how they treat their very old. Perhaps I just agree with this because I'm getting older ?

it's got nothing to do with that.

yes the virus does kill off the old. opposite to the spanish flu which apparently knocked off the young and healthy.
my opinion on both are the same.

But if I crash my car, and am severely injured or die, I’m not going to pass on my injuries or worse to my family or contacts.
