I'm trying to find a polite way to word this and failing:

The moral stance you are taking here is abhorrent and I disagree with it to my very core.

As do I, as that was never their plan. Their plan was to isolate the aged and the at-risk, well away from those who may infect them, and send everyone else who wouldn't get horribly sick out. This would create a protective barrier around the old and sick. Nobody has proposed what dingaling has suggested.
