We wouldn't be living in the lock down hell hole in a pre internet world. The idea that children playing online games are better off than those that don't is disgusting. It's a relic of this sad excuse for a life we live now. All to help grandma and grandpa, average age 82, to squeeze out another year. Who would happily let go for their grand children. Reprehensible.
My wife is a Nurse. It's also to help the millions of health care professionals in the world working gruelling hours and horrible working conditions on wards full of dying patients. The number of health care professionals that have suffered severe stress and trauma, a shocking number of them to the point of suicide, is a horrible bloody stain on the hands of the people not taking these precautions seriously and thus aiding the propagation of this virus. I'm pretty sure the thousands of people dying daily in the US and UK where I am, and millions who have died globally aren't all in their 80s.
I also have an immediate family member who is a nurse, and unfortunately our anecdotal, second hand experience, seems disagree. Yes, that's not how statistics work, they are not all 82. Let's also remember that we live in an imperfect world and many, many more of younger age die every day. We are living in a dilution where we forget that everybody dies. A 10% increase is not a 10x increase. We can handle this without the security theater.
