My point is that in a pandemic, the deaths will be that percentage of the population that are most vulnerable, and with covid it has largely been those three groups: Old, Infirm, Obese.Macarthur said:I apologize if this was an attack on your character.

Quite a straw man, and the a veiled assault on my character as well.
There is a little something called "Risk Analysis".
Having said that, your comment was about the 1% that have died are either old or obese or infimed. I still think you should have to elaborate on why that matters. Does an old person not deserve to live another 5 years? 10? I know the answer is, yes, but the implication is that they only deserve to, up to a point, that everyone else is inconvienienced. So, I'm curious how we get to that point...
Rather than conduct something of a risk analysis and assess risk across cohorts, we've pretended that everyone is equally at risk when that couldn't be further from the truth.
