[QUOTE="simme, post: 1645379, member: 40418"] I guess my topic is more about philosophy. What is a human life worth? How much should society spend to save a life from a pandemic? Shutting things down come at a huge cost. Stimulus cost, loss of businesses, loss of jobs and income, more poverty, less quality of life in the future for many people. How much have the shutdowns cost? How many lives have been saved due to the shutdowns? Have we saved a million lives? 5 millions lives? If 5 trillion has been spent to save 5 million lives, that is a cost of 1 million per life. How much should we as a society spend to save a life? $1,000 - of course. $10,000 - of course. $100,000? 1 million? 10 million? Now we are getting expensive. Would it be wise to implement practices that places severe hardships on all people to save 0.1% of the population? 0.5%? 1%? 10? 25? Maybe too heavy of a topic. [/QUOTE]
