Coronavirus and the coming incarceration.... I mean shelter in place

[Pete]

Solitude
should be a matter of choice
not
government regulation!

….for the most part humanity has stood by and watched while injustices were perpetrated on other human beings as in one warring faction slaughtering another on the continent of Africa, at the same time we read of warring drug cartels decimating one another in Latin America and too in the Middle East we watch as one country bombs another and forces its people to leave their homes, but now a new form of surreptitious incarceration is gradually emerging from the coronavirus pandemic and that is the push to isolate only seniors.

On April 19th I wrote the posting “coronavirus... and the obamacare death panels” where hospitals and medical staff were evaluating critical health care resources based on the point system of your value to the nation, today this new injustice is far worse because it touches every senior citizen whether healthy or sick.

If I was a believer in conspiracy theories the frequent news articles focusing on the statistics of the pandemic showing that majority of those that die from COVID-19 are senior citizens with underlying conditions, combined with the now recurring talk shows repeating these statistics and the more and more numerous protests occurring across the nation promoting the opening of our economy and lifting of the shelter at home restrictions is like a well orchestrated plan to get the public behind the 'senior stay at home' policy.

I have heard it said that
it is for the good of all seniors
if they just stay at home
while the rest of the population gets back to work
never mentioning
that it may be eighteen months
before it would be ok for the seniors
to return
to their normal routine,
but then again blanket statements
most times turn a blind eye to fairness.​
