Disease and death have been a part of humanity since time began. All we can do is try to make the most out of the short time we have here on this earth. Playing this covid theater game for 2+ years is, in my opinion, an insulting to human nature. We aren't meant to do this.
Everyone behaves as if this is true every single day, regardless of how mad they get when it’s stated explicitly.
not if I'm part of the X group, for purely selfish reasons, and it's perfectly rational for anyone to not want to be in the X group, no matter what values assigned to Y and Z are.
So the crux of the problem isn't what you stated - it's that these decisions are made, and some people disagree, because either they are in the X group, or not. This is why conscription is required in a war, and this is why lockdowns are needed in a pandemic, etc.
(and really the piles won't be that high. they'll be of low-to-medium height, consisting mostly of the old and fat.)
People dying is all fine and good until it happens to you or someone you care about.
