Don't talk don't breathe wear two masks don't leave the house we're all gonna die.

In reality kids are not an at-risk group and there used to be a healthcare maxim "first, do no harm". When did it become OK to hurt one group (young healthy people) in exchange for hypothetical benefits to another group?

The trolley problem also used to be controversial. Now it's:

A trolley is running towards a single 80-year old. If you do pull a trigger, it will instead kill an unknown number of people, including children.

If you don't, you're a monster.

I thought the problem was kids were an infection vector and could spread COVID-19 to older folks at home?
