I appreciate you articulating this point so well. This is a very complex situation and people on all ends of the spectrum are being asked to compromise on their values for the sake of public good. Some people are more willing to compromise than others, and that's OK, but it's _hard_.

I really think there are no great choices, only less-bad ones, and even those less-bad ones are a matter of perspective and priorities.

Agree. And in particular, I think that a lot of death and suffering is already baked into the cake, in the sense that there is simply nothing we can do.

That said, we should try to do what we can to lessen the damage. We should all be "all ears" for the best thinking towards this end.
