You'd think they have some sort of agenda here

The state, with its flunky Greenwich Time, reports that there were 84 new Covid deaths yesterday, but doesn’t say who died, or where. In fact, the dead can be found almost exclusively among members of the Golden Years set, and they most probably expired in nursing homes.
Yesterday’s (Tuesday’s actually) included: 58 individuals aged 80 or over, 12 aged 70-79 and 10 in the 60-69 bracket: 80 out of 88.
The cumulative totals are equally instructive:
AGE GROUP CASES DEATHS
20-29 3,825 4
30-39 4,848 19
40-49 5,036 43
50-59 6,159 127
60-69 5,209 390
70-79 3,432 680
80 + 5,131 1,856
With all due respect to the old, obese and otherwise vulnerable, we choose to shut down the state, close schools, throw hundreds of thousands of people out of work and bankrupt the state, when we could instead protect a handful of older and sick citizens and let the rest of the population continue with their lives. This is no way to run a railroad, unless, of course, your objective is to nationalize those railroads; for many, it is.
