Forgetting the overload of medical infrastructure for a bit, here are some of the myriad of issues that this leads to:

1. There are 20-50 year olds with pre-existing conditions such as asthma who are at higher risk. For example, a colleague on my team has asthma. Another colleague on my team has a husband who has asthma. As a Manager, I can't ask either of them to come into work.

2. What about 20-50 year olds who come in contact with 50+ year old or live together with them? They may be at low risk, but they will definitely spread the virus around more

It becomes quite complicated dealing with these things on a case by case basis.
