Thinking about our Covid-19 situation in BC with the view of what’s happening in Italy.

We have short-term economic interest that we’re weighing against human life. Many lives.

To me it’s a morality question. And to me the obligation we have to each other is to save our lives.

I would not send 100 employees to a job site knowing 20 would get very sick and 2-3 would die. That is not acceptable.

I’m at a loss for why we have a question here. We’re speaking of human life.

Killing people is bad. You could say full-on objectively bad.

Back to my scenario, it’s condemning people to death. It’s a little random. Certainly that doesn’t make it okay.

You stand in defence of human life, the dignity of human life, or you stand with the worst of humanity.

Where do we want to stand?

Arrogant stupidity is normally an irritant. Now it’s a threat to public health and the lives of each and every person on earth.
People aren’t numbers. Lost lives are the lives of fellow humans.
I think we need to fall back to objective morality and call this out for what it is.

We have a right to live. Most fundamental right because we are here, we were born and this time on earth is our time on earth.
The most sacred thing is our lives.
