| Comment | *Even* if we grant you the idea that "Covid only affects older people", the problem you quickly run into if you simply let it spread, is that NHS capacity is breached within weeks. Many hospitals are already close to that point in central Scotland and across England.
Essentially, you have so many Covid patients being treated that there are no beds left for other critical care. Things get compounded when staff (inevitably) catch it and get sick too.
So, even if you're willing to let older folks die from it, it's just moronic to think unleashed spread of it wouldn't affect anyone else. |
