One point that stood out to me as odd is that he says family units are clustering together and that's worse for the elderly/most at risk. He mentions students coming home from college but aren't they the only major group coming home that don't live there normally? If people live with their parents and grandparents then it seems to make sense that working to keep them from getting infected (ie - keeping K-12 students home, parents avoiding the work place) is a better course of action than sending them into school and work. If they've already moved away then they shouldn't be taking this time as a free vacation to see those people anyway. I'm not sure how you would protect those at risk people while keeping everyone else in their normal lives. Fill the hospital beds with them and don't let in the coronavirus infected? Edit to add: US Population 65 years and over: 16.03% (male 22,678,235/female 28,376,817) (wikipedia) Total Staffed Beds in All U.S. Hospitals: 924,107 (aha.org) |
