Not sick. Old.

We could cover all the compromised younger people who get covid and not stress the ERs. But that generation born between 46 and 55 are the ones who'd bust capacity.

The sick are often productive. Sick and productive aren't mutually exclusive. Old and retired (and bailed out twice already, in 2000 and 2008) is a different story.

I'm not arguing against doing it. I'm not an ogre. But this is all to ensure the safety of the boomers. And they'd better be fucking thankful.
