Mrs. Front was just telling me about an 85 year old client of her pharmacy.
His routine was to go to the pharmacy, then meet op with his old mates to have a few wines through the afternoon. (very common here,in the Basque Country).
Today he went from the pharmacy to sit on a bench opposite the bar where he usually goes. The police tried to move him and he fought them off with his walking stick.
People like him, whose lifes consist of a routine like that, are faced with solitary confinement for what, for them, might be the rest of their lives.
I can see why they might want to say "fuck it" and just go out for a bit.

It is difficult.
My mother is 76 and lives alone. She was leading an extremely active and social life until this all kicked off. I do worry about her getting lonely. At the moment she just goes walking by herself in the countryside to get out the house, but I can't see her being socially isolated for too long. It would break her. Daily phone calls from me don't cut it; we just don't have enough in common to chat away. She needs to be with her friends. This woman just said she lives with her husband, though. She doesn't really have an excuse.

Similar situation here
Dad has been dicking about with his mates, probably helping out vulnerable people from his church and finally got the whole point of isolating when his dry cough started properly. Didn't stop him popping over to drop a birthday card off. So now he's two fevered days in, jo appetite or sense of smell, with pre-existing conditions, and living with my mum who similarly has health issues, and coming down with it.
I think he gets it now.

* person makes claim that republicans like money more than people
* instead of addressing claim, you reformulate his claim by extending both the scope of his subject from "republicans" to "all people who disagree with you", and from a specific clause "like money more than people" to a purposefully exagerated one "are evil"
-this is pretty textbook strawman, prufrock, and I'm afraid I've applied it accurately (def: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument or oversimplifying and/ore exaggerating (sometimes grossly exaggerating) an opponent's argument. It's an informal fallacy, so the definitions vary somewhat, but you get the general idea. Nevertheless your example does matchup quite neatly)
I'm always happy to educate people, particularly one as frequently pedantic about language as yourself. Though you are quite correct that it is a term that's more often than not misapplied or misunderstood, including by you in your own case, it seems. So much so that I avoid it, associating it these days with poor argument through misuse, preferring to reply as I see fit rather than posit a label as counterargument. I only use it this instance as it fitted my joke, which was to encapsulate your typical internet argument progression with far greater brevity than this reply

It's like an army of dickwads have suddenly become vaguely acquainted with labels for argumentative fallacies and think any usage lends their argument some sort of fucking intellectual gravitas totally inevident in their discourse. So I'm with you there, man

Partial strawman I'd say.
I'll give you that extending the republicans to all people disagreed with counts.
But it's not a necessarily a strawman to take loving money more than people and converting it to evil, if that was a clearly intended implication in the original comment.
It would be churlish to try to argue that Chinchilla doesn't think that loving money more than people is evil.

so, ignoring the "republicans > all people" distortion
you think it follows from "republicans like money more than people" which is a comparative proposition and a humanist one at that, it follows that because there is a christian proverb associating money with evil, his point was some sort of christian motivated criticism? And we are supposed to immediately understand this was context you meant from "all people who disagree with you are evil"? Pretty tortuous inference. It's still very strawmanny, prufrock, even if your intention was to recharacterise his argument as a religious values criticism, that's definitely not evident from his claim. I mean, I could remind you again of the definitions but if you haven't grasped them by now it seems a little pointless. Still, "The resonance of Timothy 6 10 is as clear as a bell even in a post Christian society" wins you pseuds corner for the day. classic

I wonder if these fuckwits actually understand the consequences. there's a lot of flawed assumptions by politicians
maybe they think, well 1% death rate is acceptable, and its mostly the elderly and immunocompromised
But if you let the virus spread uncontrolbly all at once, you get much higher death rates. that death rate counts the people who survive given icu beds and ventilators. with a full blown virus spread, the death rate is much higher among people who receive no treatment, and much higher in the general population because the hospitals are overwhelmed and they can't get normal medical help, such as early cancer surgery. Can't see that as being as palatable, even if you create some deathcamps for people with lung infections to keep them away from the hospitals
