I still think we're dealing more with the potential no of deaths not the actual no of deaths.
But then, no number of deaths matters to you guys, it isn't a problem, and it cannot ever be a problem.
Am I wrong? Show me a number you're uncomfortable with.
How many potential deaths in the US in the next 3 months would you NOT be ok with and would have you agree that actions need to be taken.
That is not a fair question as you are asking someone to approve a certain number of deaths. The fact is that there is always a trade-off. If we lowered the speed limit to 25 mph and force car manufacturers to build cars like tanks then absolutely millions of lives would be saved. But we don't do that because the economic cost to society would not be worth. So it would be like me asking you that if you don't agree with these new standards then you don't care about human life. Because the suffering and deaths due to poverty are not as quantifiable as something like a pandemic it's always easy to make this kind of argument.
How many people that are forced to be homeless and no longer able to support themselves and their families are you comfortable with? How many businesses that fail and therefore unable to provide jobs and products our society needs are you comfortable with?
All of life are a series of trade-offs and it's rarely between good and bad but between bad and worse.
How about you? Do you still have a job? If so, lucky you. Screw those who don't. If you've been laid off and have no income coming in how long do you think you can last before you start thinking about your life and the other lives that are in your situation?
