Would you keep pulling the lever in a situation like this? Why or why not?

Just pull it for like 72 hours straight and give up.

Unless you find joy in pulling a lever, there is no different outcome of pulling it for 3 days. Not to mention that anyone riding the trolley would probably be dead after a few rounds.

you said there is some hope of somebody co.ing to rescue them though. So there is more chance of survival many me sacrificin g 3 days.

So just looking at the illustration, I see no reason why the the lever puller couldn't leave the pulley after each pass of the trolley and untie one person run back to the lever, switch tracks and repeat until all the persons are free.
However, if this is not an option and the lever puller did not create the circumstances, cannot change the outcome or save anyone....then I would say he should wait until all the victims were asleep and allow the trolley to swiftly pass over them while they lay in an unconscious state. I mean, I understand that the illustration says they don't "need" to sleep but it didn't say they can't sleep.
Alright, third option. The attendant dislodges the track pulley and uses the device to derail the trolley hoping it would work on the first try lol.

Do you wear a covid mask for the rest of your life or release yourself to reality?

I believe in evolution. The virus is just payback for humans trying to do the reverse of survival of the fittest

Good luck dying. Would you be okay with it if you are the one dying on the bed, struggling to breathe?
I know that I don’t want to and billions of other people don’t want to.

I would be okay in bed dying, preferably with pain drugs. There are worse ways to die.
If people wanna get fat and stressed out and die at 60 from Covid, at least they had a fun life.
Very few Chinese died since there are few Chinese fatticakes.
They should have called the virus the Cow-vid since you will die if you are a fatty cow.

why did you say "what"? That is a term used when you can't understand something said out loud
