BigStewMan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 yeah @Bosco-d-gama, but too many are short-sighted and concerned with the present not the future, and of course money will be a strong factor in decision-making. Personally, I'd rather our national debt skyrocket even more, if it ends or controls this. that would be money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, totally unacceptable. Please don't think my wondering is any form of approval. That question that I posted was one posed to me this morning and I thought I'd throw it out there for discussion. saving lives above all else is the priority. we'll adjust to the economic hardship as we go along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated that. Did not want to infer that you felt that people should die to get the economy going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are times we need to be protected from ourselves though, but we're not talking about the guy down the street in his garage coming up with some concoction. If scientists have done some research and it hints at success, why not let people try if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go to sleep, on a normal night, and wake up in eternity as opposed to lying in a hospital with a tube down my throat. but, I'm probably in the minority that will not cling for life. Told my family decades ago, if I'm sick or injured, allow reasonable treatment if there is a good chance at success, no heroic measures just to keep me technically alive. but, you're right ... we should strive for optimism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just clarifying my position to avoid any misinterpretation -- on this forum, I just write like I'm brainstorming or reacting, I don't worry much of spelling, grammar, or sometimes even how I word things. more like a casual conversation that an essay exam that will be graded. the day I have to put that much effort into my posts is the day I quit posting completely.

On the other hand, people might develop their own immunity. The possibility is on both sides of it getting better or worse for the world's population.

Is that acceptable? Just know this: We've had a very sheltered life. These moral standards can change very quickly given significant changes in circumstances.
