Herd immunity. Old and sick die, old and healthy live.
Assorted spread of people from young to middle aged die but mostly due to co-morbidity.
Wasn't it Darwin that had a saying about this, the same Darwin that was a Eugenicist and had to change a title on 1 book from "the favoured races" to something less racist.
You asked me what my thinking is and what I'm about to say right here is it in a nutshell. "Lockdown will seize exponentially more lives than COVID-19" and you (generally, not you specifically) are so quick to take the moral high ground over wearing a mask.
Instead of fawning the president (again, like majority of Facebook not you specifically) question how very quickly you were shoved into your home with arrest being the consequence of leaving.
Viva ANC! Viva ANC! said the softly licking white tongues.
What we going to do when the next plague comes out of China lockdown again?!
The last 40yrs all the plagues have come from China before swine flu was popular. Dirty country with a dirty government gets a dirty plague and intentionally hides it.
Your moral viewpoint is separate to the greater damage that you're tacitly allowing by being persuaded an invisible goo is going to kill you and the only rational response is global lockdown.
Haha imagine if ww3 kicked off or marauding starving zombies from the townships come to get relief once the lockdown is lifted.
The world world has gotten a lot more dangerous and some would say the dollar is down but a war with China would prop it up for oh let's say another 50 to 100 years.
Why bother wearing a mask if we need herd immunity.
If you're first in line for the vaccine I hope you know the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are petitioning and will pass a law through the pharmacy courts that will indemnify them for reparations from people their vaccine injured.
On the other hand I'll probably just get a mask so I can go to the shops and not starve.
YMMV

If you read this in a Donald Trump accent it actually makes sense.
