A bit blunt but not the first person to express a similar view ... albeit not on a public forum.
Some were saying ...herd immunity ... was sacrificing the people to protect the mass populace.
Some are saying .... the havoc this is creating socially and the catastrophic world debt and suffering and poverty that will inevitably follow .. for decades? ... will far outstrip the painful cost of the pandemic in human lives.
Brutal, true, but based on the fact that we're an overpopulated world
Covid has claimed :
Cases = 680,000 and rising.
Deaths = 31,905.
Births in the world this year = 37,838,359 ... and rising by the second.
Births Today = 222,427
Deaths this year = 14,743,336 (of which, 31,905 are covid)

Would it prove to be less devastating if the younger, general population, who apparently only suffer a mild dose, had all been allowed to run around with light restrictions and kept the economy going, but just cocooned the old and vulnerable.
The billions that are getting spent would easily have protected particular groups.
Will trying to protect the whole world population prove to be so costly it will be unsustainable or blight the future.
I'll probably get shot down for posting this.
