CMV: If you're over 65, you should just stay home, it's not worth the risk, and if you catch it, even if you die, it's not the end of the world.

I'm 16 and I think one of the biggest problems with the quarantine is that it's affecting too many people who don't need to be affected. That's why I believe that everyone who is over 65 should just stay home, and the rest of us can just go on with our lives like normal. I know that some of you will say "what if I need someone over 65 to BABYSIT MY KID cuz I need to go to work?" And my answer to that is, figure it out. <br><br>The two reasons I think over 65s should just stay home are that 1. They are most at risk, and shouldn't be going out and catching corona and 2. I think the economy should be able to go like it was before and it would be best if older people just stayed home as they are the most vulnerable. They can just have stuff delivered to them by young people who are out and there's no point in keeping the economy closed because of them. Furthermore, if older people do catch corona and end up dying, it's not the end of the world. Yes it's sad, but they've lived most of their lives already. I know that's a controversial thing to say, but I think you'll see it from my view if you consider that just a few hundred years ago, you could consider living to 20 as a good life.
