1Yeah, my mother is not expendable. And your mother is not expendable. And our
2brothers and sisters are not expendable. And were not going to accept a premise
3that human life is disposable. And were not going to put a dollar figure on
4human life. First order of business is: save lives. Period. Whatever it costs.
5Now, I also dont believe its an either or. I believe you can have an
6intelligent refined public health strategy. You talk about risk stratification.
7You can have people go to work. You can test people and find out that they are
8resolved from the virus. Let them go back to work. You can let go younger people
9back to work. You can have an economic startup strategy that is consistent with a
10public health strategy. Its smart. Its complicated. Its sophisticated. But
11thats what government is supposed to do, right. That whole concept of developed
12government policy and program. You can do both. But not in a clumsy hamhanded
13way. Right? \quotation {Well, well just sacrifice old people, theyre old people
14anyway, and the old get left behind.} What is this? Some modern Darwinian theory
15of natural selection? You cant keep up so the band is going to leave you behind.
16Were gonna move on and if you cant keep up you, well then you just fall by the
17wayside of life. God forbid.
