GERONTICIDE is the sign of moral decay. Indian official explained only "rich" countries make a tradeoff betw lives & "economy" (assuming they are separable). The argument of "lockdown costing lives" is bunk: in the poor country, India, ~nobody starved. The richer, the worse!!!

Wrong. Voting population is older in the West and old people are active politically. Leaders are often old too. Lots of young people live in urban areas and comply/agree with lockdown. Policy is not dictated by the young. This is not a geronticide, especially not in the USA.

Same as Sweden/USA (in his narrative). That's exactly my point.

It's only geronticide when the young are in charge (not Japan afaik).
