Then the government should compensate those who are staying at home because they are at risk. If the choice is between locking everyone down and compensating everyone, and just compensating those who are at risk the second option is obviously cheaper. And regardless, I think the vast majority of those who are at risk were not working before the pandemic, so do not really need to be compensated. More than 60% of people who have died so far in Ontario are in long term care facilities. Over 85% of people who have died in Ontario are in their 70's or older (so likely retired). So the number of at-risk people we are talking about here is actually pretty small.
