@ Impure_client because a PSW caught the virus, my father, who was living in lockdown conditions for almost a year in a senior residence died before his time. He wasn't sick or suffering any life threatening condition before that. He needed someone to help him shower for his safety. I called him on the morning of Dec 29 and he was gasping for air, suffocating, and it went from there to looking ok on Jan 1 on O2 in intensive care. I have a FaceTime of him talking with my sister and looking alert and smiling. Two days later we we were informed he had deteriorated and to prepare for the worst. This is when the lungs fill with fluid as the body is attacked and the inflammatory response goes haywire. The compassionate thing is to sedate a person who is literally suffocating to death.

Your attitude and inappropriate emoji use sadly expose your shallow, self centered mind.

They also expose a huge flaw with a big chunk of society that ultimately results in more deaths than necessary. But don't worry, it was a piece of cake for you so it didn't happen. Othwr human tragedies have been denied in the past. Don't let anyone hold you back with living your life. People that need surgery or treatment will just sit tight as the hospital cancels their scheduled procedures as we enter wave 3. Herd immunity is ~80% having 2 vaccines + a few weeks. We're nowhere near that where I am. Minimizing things that don't affect you as deeply. OK maybe when you're a certain age we can put a noose around your neck and slowly tighten it until you die in a week or two, all the while being fully aware of whats happening, ok?

Some people should be taken to palliative wards and maybe the morgue and you know, smear their face in it a bit so they'll know for sure that it's real.
