One of many reasons. Covid sickness and deaths = Fed $$$. Elderly = mostly conservatives. Nursing homes for the poor cost the state money, each death saves the state $$$. So killing the elderly reduces Republican votes and their names can be used on Dem ballots to get a double pop in Dem votes vs Reps, saves the state money and delivers a fat paycheck from the Fed if they come down with covid and more money if they die from it. WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN for the State. These sick bastards also enjoy traumatizing the conservative elderly through isolating them from their loved ones.
