Should they simply be allowed to die because they have other problems , like a disability?
BUT THEY DID DIE ANYWAY------Didn’t they!
They died because in most cases the disability was self-inflicted.
I’m just referring to my country USA.
The majority of 80 plus year old people that died had respiratory problems because they smoked their whole life. Others had diabetes as an underling problem because they kept eating donuts in the morning for breakfast and pie with coke in the evening for dinner. Even though all our health advisers continually warn these people that their diet is going to kill them if they don’t make changes. It's what kills many every year here in the USA.
Heart disease: 659,041
Cancer: 599,601
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005
Diabetes: 87,647

Also what about the strain on hospitals coping with so many people who are extremely ill needing expert nursing? The knock on effect of other patients not getting the care they need ,what about them ?
And this is what many see when their vision is Myopic.
In the USA, hospitals closed off all “Routine services” to people that needed life saving therapies like their Chemo Therapies. There were many young 28, 29, 30 plus young ladies with cancer who were refused their chemo treatment for their breast cancer. At first it was just supposed to be one month, then it turned into two months, then three, then indefinitely. Many- Many, young vibrant ladies died because they were refuse Chemo because the hospitals put the 80 -90 years old obese, diabetic smoker with Covid FIRST and rejected to help these young mothers with cancer.
As a result hundreds perhaps thousands of mothers died leaving children without mothers and husband without wives to help them raise the children.
And those 80 plus elderly with underline problems -----DIED ANYWAY.
And don’t get me started on the tons of children suicides because of the lock down for over a year.
The thousands of broken families because they lost their means of making a living because of the lock down, and as a result losing their home and becoming homeless.
Why has this happened?
Because the governing leaders wanted to lock down the entire country to help the 80, 90 plus years old people who smoked, drank, pigged out on food and became obese and ignore the young people with real problems like cancer, heart problems, depression.
A lot of my neighbors in my block are old people in their 80s,
90s. And most of them got Covid. They were sick a few days and that
was it. They didn’t need to go to the hospital for urgent care. But
these neighbors of mine take care of themselves. Most have never
smoked. All of them walk or run every day and include weight lifting
in their exercise routine. None of them are obese, or diabetic. All
of them know how to eat nutritional meals and avoid sweet sodas, candy,
processed food, etc. The 90 year old couples look like they are
in their fifties or sixties. Very little gray hair and all the men have a full head of hair.They are healthy as heck because they treasure life and take care of themselves.
If you think the lock down was instituted to HELP the elderly, think again, the governing leaders never intended to help the elderly.
The lock down had a different agenda.
