If an 80 chooses to not kill himself he still is making a choice

When the vast majority of these transmissions appear to be a result of family transmission, how else do you think older/higher risk individuals are contracting it? Either free will is relevant is or it isn't. If we're willing to disregard the guy who panicked because he's watching a life he built crumble around him, then we must also be willing to disregard the diabetic who ate himself into a state where his body can't fight this off. Or the 65 year old that told his family to come over for dinner and got sick. Personally I'm willing to give ALL of them a bit of a pass right now, which is why I'm unwilling to hand-waive the mental health impacts of this. Unlike others who feel emboldened to pick winners and losers. |

We don't know. What we do know is that there have only been 82 confirmed new cases today. And that is fewer than yesterday.

The lack of internal consistency here is laughable. Either you're responsible for your own choices or you aren't. |

22.2% to 26.9% of people being hospitalized for COVID-19 complications have diabetes.
If you choose to be obese and eat unhealthy shit, you are making lifestyle choices that lead to diabetes and increase your chances of getting COVID-19-related complications. https://www.aace.com/recent-news-and...abetes-updated Quote:

From a selfish standpoint, I also know that opening everything up places me at higher risk as well as my wife. I don't want her exposed any more than possible, not only for my sake, but hers. Ultimately, I think we have to do whatever we can to stop overwhelming the healthcare system. If we end up with a surge that overwhelms our ability to protect them, it will create a shortage of providers for years that will itself lead to thousands upon thousands of excess deaths. |

My work had a number you could call to deal with the mental aspect of all of this and the councilers aren't meeting patience due to the virus. THX

Exactly.
All I'm saying is that if you're focusing exclusively on deaths that occur as a result of this, you cannot disregard those mental health outcomes either. Because as you noted - no one wins if they are dead. And the man that killed himself - irrationally or otherwise - is no less dead. Again - do I believe suicides as a result of this are going to be 1 for 1 with fatalities as a result of the disease? No, of course not. But I think they'll happen. And they'll happen in significant enough numbers that they need to be included in the decision-making process. |
