I do not have this opinion of my parents or any other immuno-compromised individual. Your worst-case-scenario is absolutely the worst-case scenario in many individual's minds.
If the greater good is not the extension of the life of those around us what exactly are we trying to do here?
There are many things worth crashing the world-economy over. Slavery was one. Climate change probably another.
Asking for a 90 day slow-down to prevent real-world deaths is probably one of the more concrete and predictable things we could do compared to most other altruistic choices facing us today.
I originally took your point to be that the current risks, although sad, are acceptable and we face greater peril from slowing down economic activity.
Although I see trade-offs to everything I see economic activity fundamentally as in service to the quality of life of a person and would rather take the sadness of losing greater economic gains to the sadness losing significantly more people.
There is always a balance to this and I could interpret what you said as having a different perspective on what the current risks are but without additional context, I took it as I did.
"Colleagues mourned the death of Peng Yinhua, a 29 Yo doctor who postponed his wedding to fight the COVID-19 outbreak"
"Liu Zhiming, the director of Wuhan Wuchang hospital, died at 51 Years old"
"Dr. Li Wenliang died at 33 Yo.
"Xia Sisi, 29, was a digestive physician working at Hospital in Wuhan. She died Sunday morning"
"Huang Wenjun, 42, deputy chief physician at the department of respiratory medicine at Xiaogan Central Hospital also died Sunday".
Any sources for that theory?
The worst case scenario right now is that some people might lose their grandparents a couple years early -- which is obviously incredibly sad, but also not something worth crashing the world economy over.
