A future where we will likely face this more often... which is the scariest thing about "the people" saying it's fine for the govt to not use our taxes to protect all of us. They aren't our kings, they are our representatives. All of us.
Personally my main argument with the economy versus the aged argument is that I think the economic recovery is mostly tied to ordinary people going back to normal life. Being confident to go about their lives as we did 12 months ago. And that needs a health solution, not rhetoric or arguing to convince others. People need true organic confidence its safe and only then the economy can go forward again properly.
