Elderly Choice

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
--Roberta Flack

Even among those skeptical about lockdowns and other CV19 countermeasures, there has been broad agreement about staying away from the elderly--to keep them and other vulnerable groups isolated from exposure to the virus.
However, many elderly people are realizing that they do not want to waste their remaining time in isolation. They want to live.

No worldly policy can rightly dictate who gets to live a full life. We have all been equally endowed with that right by our creator.

Old age does not disqualify freedom of choice.
