Sometimes I think that maybe that's the source of the problem, our modern commodities has made us forgot the real value of life and that's why see so many stupid people doing all sorts of crazy shit, it's because they believe that modern medicine is like magic and at worst they would have to spend a few days in the hospital if they get hurt or you have complete opposite where as you said 20 year olds shaking in fear over the possibility of dying even if it's as low as possible because they were promised that death wouldn't be a thing they would need to worry about over the next 80 years.
This is also why we see so much outrage over a 1% percent death rate with people saying that this is a disaster for the world (and don't get me wrong, this IS a disaster) while also ignoring that locking everyone up in their houses will end causing way more suffering and deaths but they don't care the important thing here is that the virus is killing people and that makes them feel bad so even if the majority of people won't suffer from the virus in mortal ways everyone will be lock up because we don't let anyone behind.
Now let me be clear: I don't want people to die, no one wants, but I think it's pretty obvious at this point that not everyone is gonna make it and we can't just let that to be reason enough to stop time in the economy and daily lives just because you want those numbers to stop, people will die corona or not, it's part of life. We can't let that stop us from getting out of this problem, if we want a way out first we need to look right into our fears and take a step forward, that's how many moments in history were decided.
