Again - there's only one voice from only one perspective being heard right now. And yes, there's a calculus. If you can tell me why an 80 yr old dying of disease warrants more concern than a 30 yr old who kills himself because he can't see a way to provide for his family, I'm all ears.
All viewpoints need more consideration than they're getting.

I am in the all lives are precious group but there is also a reality to life that we have to accept. I don't want anyone to die from this or any other thing. But people are and will die from this and countless other illnesses.
What I think we have to make sure of is if people do get sick and need to go to the hospital that we have resources. We don't want people would otherwise be fine dying because there wasn't enough resources.
That's the balancing act right now. But I tend to lean your way with we are shooting first and asking questions second anymore.
