I think that you're missing the point that younger people are still at risk of infection. They're far less likely to die, and so make great carriers.

- zaroth 7y agoI’m not missing that fact at all. People who are at risk should self-isolate, and we should put policies in place to assist the vulnerable population in doing so. The most at risk population is also very unlikely to depend on a weekly paycheck.
- crooked-v 7y agoYou're conveniently avoiding engaging with the part where "let people just go to work" means that the death rate in under-60 severe cases skyrockets because hospitals can't handle that many people needing ventilators and round-the-clock care all at once.
