“ any decent vulnerable person would not want the rest of us to suffer “

[Longestride25]

Usual post via social media accounts but this one struck me more than usual.
Was a usual post about anti mask wearing / not wanting any restrictions in place etc
There defence was any decent vulnerable person would know that everyone has to die at sometime and they we should not all sacrifice our enjoyment in life for them.
I read it a few times ( I have a young daughter still on the extremely vulnerable list for further shielding )
Are we really being selfish to want restrictions across board than one set of people completely locked away for god knows how long ?

I think a lot of people think of vulnerable people as those in care homes, with terminal illnesses or those coming to the end of their lives. They don’t seem to realise that a huge amount of the vulnerable people are children, teenagers, young adults, parents of young children etc

Does that make it ok then?

They'll be jumping on this thread in a minute with their sick fucker eugenics.

They’re already here. Fucking sociopaths.

It's not only a selfish and cruel attitude, it's also downright stupid to think any of us can just enjoy our lives as normal if there's a virus spreading like crazy.

People just think "oh but it wouldn't kill ME, so I'd be okay, I could carry on going to the shops and the theatre and out for dinner and get non-Covid medical treatment and send my kids to school." Yes, but all those things require OTHER PEOPLE to be doing their jobs and not off sick, or taking care of very ill Covid patients, or feeling happy to go out and spend money to keep that theatre and restaurant going.

Or they say "we just need to protect the vulnerable" and then go all vague when you ask exactly how the hell that would work when 'the vulnerable' are millions and millions of people. Yes I'm sure the economy would be going great guns if we forcibly transported eight million of the population to some sort of quarantine island! But hey as long as YOU don't have to wear a mask in Aldi, that's the main thing.
