But ya know what, when it is all said and done, those idiots will be far less for those of us that took it seriously enough to deal with next "crisis dejour".
Being a caretaker for an invalid would make a retired person "essential."

Being someone who does the grocery shopping for the family is "essential."

Being someone who meets with the contractor to repair a roof broken when a tree branch fell through it would be "essential."

There are a myriad of things that retired people do, that is considered "essential" and necessary for them to do. Going to the hospital to have a chemo treatment, or to the dialysis center for a treatment, donating blood, making masks to donate to the essential WORKERS...

Do you really feel that retired people should just curl up and die, because they aren't earning a paycheck? Do you truly have that much contempt for the elderly?
