Let me make this simple. We can not harm the many to save the few. If I get Corona, I have a 50% chance of dying. I am over 65 and have mild COPD. That puts me in the danger area. That being said, I have lived a full life and if this is my fate, then so be it. But to expect so many younger than I, fighting for their American dream for themselves and their kids, to be put on hold at best and decimated at worst, is the height of selfishness. I will do what I can to protect myself, but I will not request anyone else to sacrifice for my sake. We have done our part to build this world into what it is. We should not be parasites of it in our December years.
