Because you’ll see other countries who didn’t and they aren’t dead.

Not only that, is that at what point, is current and future generations well being worth to save the population that’s largely impacted by this?

Meaning, it’s perverse to spend more resources on the elderly as opposed to the youth. This just dials up the perversion to an extreme.

What i don't get is that these rational thoughts backed up by hard facts that says Italy lost 60.000 people(!) over a three year period to the common flu, are being overheard/ignored in place of a response that threaten to throw organized countries into economic chaos.
