Eng: You obviously didn't read the paragraph that came right after that...

I said:
'Now I'm not saying that such an argument is worth blowing up the world economy for...far from it. There is a balance of prudence and cavalier and humans are just not good at degrees of motion.'

I have friends in State Government(s), Conservative Republicans who have expressed to me their frustration at this, because it has put them in to an untenable position.

If they advise caution such as 'hey if you think you are at risk due to a possible comorbidity, wear a mask, be sure to wash your hands regularly' they are seen as making a political statement advocating for putting a gun to our heads and blowing our brains out, when they see it as a matter of prudent caution.

Likewise I know liberals that advocate for trying to maintain some semblance of normal so we don't end up with a revolution of hungry people on our hands, they are accused of wanting Granny to die.

It is unfortunate because there is some politics at play when their really shouldn't be.
