If the situation presents that a 90 year old or thirty 20 year olds were to get medical treatment what do you think the choice should be? Everything is about choices, believe it or not there is limited funds and therefore limited treatment. Choices are already being made, we just don’t choose to discuss or understand it.

OP - Thanks for sharing this episode.
When I saw The Lt. Governors strange comment on the news, the first thing I thought of was this episode of Dinosaurs. LOL |

First the LT Governor is 70 years old and is a “senior”. Second he said no such thing. He said that people that are healthy and able will need to start going back to work otherwise our economy will crumble. Stop spreading misinformation and hate you are party of the problem.

Thank you for an intelligent and insightful post on this...amazing how many folks are taking a knee-jerk myopic view of what the Lt Governor is actually saying anybody can lead when everything is going swell...it takes courage to lead when things are in chaos or in a crisis |

If I opt as a senior with the coronavirus severe enough to require hospitalization to sacrifice my life for the economy will I be able to also request Doctor Assisted Suicide ? Do I really have to lay in some makeshift hospital bed in who knows what sports arena with no privacy, no family, possibly in pain (how do I know if there will be enough pain meds and people to administer them) or can I go on my own terms with dignity and a celebration of my sacrifice of life for the greater good while conscious. I opt for hurling.

Velvet, I hope he's ready to sacrifice himself too, because this is where we live, Northlake, TX. that's in the Denton, TX. area, also Denton Co. I hope since he wants to start sacrificing older people I hope he starts with himself to show us his dedication for life. Thanks for backing up us senior citizens! Hell, I'm only 70 & I still feel like I'm in my 40's. Yea, I'm a former Village resident of 8 yrs.

I don't know what that means. He's saying that he's willing to "live smart" but also take the risk of his health being endangered if it means saving the country in the process. What are the faiths of people who are called to fight - and possibly die - in wars between nations?

What are people going to say when the "curve" has been flattened and state governors want to reopen their states? A flattened curve doesn't mean there aren't new cases of infection. The risks of infection will still be out there. Flattening the curve simply means trying to get to a point where the healthcare systems can cater to the numbers of sick while not being overwhelmed by sharp spikes. Should we shut down everything until there are NO new cases of infection? Or, are you willing to assume some risks? We've already gotten an indication of how people will react - and that's even when there weren't natural supply shortages. Hoarding and panic prevailed. Imagine "life" in a scenario where the national economy has been decimated. Good luck with law and order. Good luck with liberties. Good luck with supply chains. Good luck with food and medical needs. Good luck with everyday safety. Living life entails everyday risks. While it's laudable that we collectively want to protect everyone (and honestly, that means ourselves), we can never remove all risk while not also suffering other serious consequences. Finding the balance isn't easy, but it's an imperative. |

YAHOO is hardly a reliable source-they are the mainstream, which means they do no actual investigative reporting, just regurgitate already posted news.

Wrong. Do some research before making untrue statements.
