When they say "a few lives" or "just old people" that means people like my mother, at 78, my ife, at 68, or me, at 58. I have an entire household of people over 55 - so what they are saying is that they would kill all of us for a boost in their stock price, or a haircut and mani-pedi.
My reaction is always "You first. Go volunteer in a COVID -19 ward, I'm sure they need the help."
They are willing to sacrifice me and mine to "open up the economy".
Don't they know that dead people can't shop?
I have fleeting dreams of being able bodied and a crack marksman. I am neither.
