Anecdotal? And you giving me some example of some young person who suffers from COVID is what? For every young person who has it and suffers from it there are thousands who have it and don't even know it. That there can be exceptions and young people can fall ill from this? Absolutely. Nobody said exceptions can't happen.
But those are isolated cases, which are irrelevant in the broad specter of things, when analyzing the risk for a normal healthy adult when facing coronavirus infection. It is a fact that the healthy young adults are affected by coronavirus only in exceptional, isolated cases. And yet, you and others are advocating for prolonged lock-down that will affect these people's lives. And for what? Lock-down didn't help these countries protect the elderly in care homes. The virus was on a rampage in these places, lock-down or not. Every country already failed to tackle the virus, precisely because they acted as is the virus was as unanimously dangerous for everyone, no matter the group. It proved to be a costly mistake.
You call my arguments irrelevant. Yours are even more so. All you guys have is massive damage by the virus in hospitals and care homes, which nobody denies. You take that, and extrapolate it to the whole society, trying to justify these general measures, even if the virus doesn't pose serious threat except for a specific vulnerable group, with other cases being conveniently presented as some individual stories played out for pure dramatic effect. Every statistic shows the elderly are affected by far the most, while children and young adults aren't even likely to show any symptom. So what are we talking about here?
These people who make decisions have proven to be absolutely useless as setting measures that tackle the real problem. Their solution? Lock everyone up. If this coronavirus thing was a barometer to judge how good we are as a species at finding out solutions to problems, most countries failed big time. They don't have a clue what they're doing.
Let me tell you something, if you have an infection in a hand and you are a great doctor, you try to heal the infection. You don't pick up an ax and cut off your hand, so the infection can't spread to your organs. That will work, in the sense that you won't die, but to what cost? Dealing with the problem doesn't mean going after the harshest measure, just because it is the most likely to work and the easiest to take. You have to really do a balanced evaluation on what the effects are. Nobody did that, I'm sure.
