The bongs forced their elderly in isolation instead.
Joshua Rodriguez
because we have LOT of elders, and if this huge amount of people all goes into ICU, italy is mamma mia
we could force isolate them, but that's not really happening in a democracy the thing is not really about saving people, it's trying to hospitalize every one who will eventually die, that's the sad thing

Just let them fucking die.
Jesus. It's not hard. If they're over 70, they don't get a respirator. They can go die at home as nature intended.

Lets ignore all the consequences it'd have in economy and healtcare and lets ignore that it kills tons of ppl in their 40's, 50's, 60's which most if then are still fathers and mothers which are providing for their families
Idc about their age, i wouldnt let my conationals die in mass. Ppl that worked their whole life for my country and gave their contribution to it
But u a loser beta made bitter by a life of being bullied and emarginated yea id kill u no problems
>kills tons of ppl in their 40's, 50's, 60's It doesn't user. Percentages are inversely correlated to the age, and directly linked to comorbidities. Also, are you ok? >But u a loser beta made bitter by a life of being bullied and emarginated yea id kill u no problems You seem salty. I think OP made only a consideration.
Andrew Evans
Probably user is projecting. You know, the typical terrone living on neetbuxs.
Christian Thomas
About 2-3% of males in their 50s is not a lot? It means about 1/50 families would lose a father that is most probably working
Looks good bro
Justin Jenkins
The average age of the people who die is 80,5 years old.
80 Year olds have a 6% chance of dying this year. with the Covid-19 they have an 18% chance of dying. Meaning they will lose on average 2 extra years, this year.
Meanwhile this lock down requires normal people to give up large parts of their live for 1,5-2 years (that is of the total population). Besides that there is a strong correlation between poverty and mortality.
It would make more sense to isolate the elderly and build up a herd immunity. If the risk groups isolate, we would only need minimal measures to not overburden the healthcare system.
Neither option is perfect.

Damn dude, are you ok? Are you sperging out because of the quarantine? Have you Corona and you have became a schizo?
Jeremiah Harris
Average age of 80 doesnt mean it doesnt kill tons of useful younger ppl
This is the CFR not actual mortality rate, about 1/5- 1/10 cases are actually detected. I am not saying we should let them die, we should just isolate them. Once 70% of the population has been infected, there will be no big outbreaks anymore.
Brayden Hernandez
octogenarians vote, and there are a ton of them. So essentially any move by a politician to protect them is just self-serving.
Be the hero your country needs and lead a youth revolution to purge the old and the infirm.

What? I am seriously worried about your mental health user. You are angry to some dudes over the Internet. It's not normal.

I don't doubt it, but it's a trade off. Analyse it by an Italian standpoint. If you save all the oldies you risk to crash the not so healthy Italian economy and generate even more despair. Life's hard. Sometimes you have to take a choice. I guess it's a matter of the lesser evil.

>Lockdown is barely effective with everyone locked down If they want to risk their own live it is up to them, the reason the lock down is ineffective is because you lock down people who have virtually no risk. So you hurt the economy and your measures aren't even working.

The first maybe. The second definitely won't work, as this will lead to a rise in xenophobia, tight border controls, an end to globalism and anti-Chinese political movements. This is all over the world too, not just Italy. Expect a resurgence of Italian fascism.

Asher Adams
>U can only guess how much cases are undetected, True i have made some models tho, but if you look at Korea they have a CFR of 0.8% which is much more realistic than the numbers we see in the west. Why? Because they have their outbreak under control, and they test alot.

Many people can't grasp the concept that normal people love their elderly. Maybe is because they weren't loved back in their youth. Sad

How many people losing their jobs is an acceptable cost to save one life? 10? 100? 1,000? More?
The economy shutting down doesn't mean everyone takes a vacation. It means millions of people who don't have significant savings lose their jobs. The government just passed the largest stimulus bill in history, and it provisions $1,200 for most americans. That's better than nothing. But the average mortgage payment in the US is $1,030. So Unless congress is willing to pass a series of packages, what they are sending out won’t cover the cost of housing for more than a month for the average American. Add onto that car loans, insurance, student debt, food, and utilities, and the picture quickly becomes grim for anyone who is losing work hours or their job as a result of this crisis.
You are potentially creating tens of millions of desperate, unemployed people who will latch onto the next political movement who promises to help them and actually means it. Trump did this to some degree. Hitler did it to a much, much greater degree.
Moral decision making means making difficult choices. Saving lives "no matter the cost" has the potential to send the world into a global depression the likes of which we've never seen. If that happens, war and famine will follow. Just remember, if we do get to that point, you wanted to stop the virus no matter the cost.

People dies even in economic depressions or recessions. Suicides. Plus you have high stress and increase dysfunctionality in poorer families. Moreover poor people tend to be more ill, so you'll increase illnesses in the long term. From (especially) mental ones, to chronic diseases for a variety of factors.
Christian Ortiz
Lockdown in Italy is in its third week if I am correct. What is the next step? Here in Canada (Québec), we just start a three week lockdown period.
I can't see it's possible to contain the virus without everyone required to wear a face mask.

>How many people losing their jobs is an acceptable cost to save one life? 10? 100? 1,000? More? And this is an inherently flaw in the system is it not? The economy was a tool built by us to serve us, and now we live and tremble in fear as if it were some divine structure to be appeased. When you place the economy over human life something is terribly wrong Do we need to make a blood sacrifice to keep our economic god appeased? I am 35 years old and since I can even remember we have lived in fear of this 'economy' Maybe it is time to let it crash and build a new system People kill themselves LESS in times of economic strife. Statistics have shown this time and time again
Jaxson Ross
>how can u allow younger family members to go out freely and not expecy every single family infected I guess it is different here, most elderly people live in retirement homes. You just need a few staff members to isolate, and have everything delivered to the retirement homes. I am not saying that it absolutely can't have an impact on the normal population, but you need to make sure you don't harm the economy as much as possible. I normally really disagree with Trump, and i also really disagree with the nothingburgers from the start. But he is kind of right that the economy can't be burdened the way it is now. I have heard forecasts of 30% economic shrinkage this quarter in the US, which is unsustainable.
Jordan Perry
My grandads hit 80, senile, aggressive, quite simply a cunt. Bosses my grandma around and doesn't let her have any freedoms, she literally mothers him. I have prayed he dies to this virus, he is a waste upon this earth. Nothing about him is good. More so, I want him to die so my grandmother can finally be free. Stop thinking just because they're old you must give them sympathy or help. Majority of them, the best thing that could happen is they leave this plane of existence.
Oliver Nelson
>We seriously dont know yet It does not matter, we can't stop this outbreak anyway. And we can't destroy the economy for a hypothetical.
Alexander Ward
What we (both Italy and Spain and soon everyone else) are doing is even worse than the illness and a consequence of today's sick vision of death. Instead of letting these people die in their houses surrounded by their families, we're sending them to overcrowded hospitals where they die alone or surrounded by strange, stressed out people. Then they're buried or cremated in isolation as if their bodies were toxic waste. Families aren't even allowed to hold a funeral. This is a consequence of seeing death as the ultimate evil instead of understanding that it's natural for any person over 80 to die. We shouldn't be sending 80 year olds into the ICU to put them on a ventilator that will do a number in their lungs. Life has a beginning and an end and it isn't right to pointlessly prolong it beyond what's natural just because we can.
Alexander Perez
>The government just passed the largest stimulus bill in history, and it provisions $1,200 for most americans This will only cause inflation in the end, if we see a decline in real economic output. So if this keeps going to long it will be really fucking dangerous.

I bet you neer took an important decisions in your life, nor you will ever be able. You will alway put yourself onto the moral pedestal judging others which will actually do the job. Too easy dude. But decisions has to be taken. And moral decisions are the toughest. I repeat. It's always a trade off. So I'll always opt for the lesser evil. 14 posts by you, where you never argumented. Only insults. You either are a troll or a loser in real life. Bye.

>economic god It's not some nebulous apparition you moron, it's you. It's your neighbor. It's your cousin. "The economy" is not the stock market, it's the sum total of economic activity in a nation. It's not the economy you should fear, it's unemployment. No one is making blood sacrifices. It's simply people saying "I might get this virus, and if I do, I might get really sick. I might even die. But that's three mights. If I don't go out and get some money, I'm going to starve." A sure thing beats a potentiality. Risk management is a part of living on this planet.

All of this shit is only the problem because of Capitalism though. Reminder that this isn't a war or a physical natural disaster. No infrastructure or actual physical parts of the economy have been destroyed. Food, water and all things essential to keep everyone going can carry on throughout this. If your economy just collapses despite the above, just because imaginary numbers go down and there's a window where some people can't make a profit then you have a bigger issue with the system
