Protecting the vulnerable has never actually worked. In theory it's possible, but it would require constantly testing nursing home workers that don't have the money to do this and an administration that hasn't shown the ability to support it. Every area that's had a significant level of spread has had issues where nursing home care workers brought in the virus from the community. The exception is Hong Kong where nursing home residents were quarantined in hospitals for significant periods. This presupposes the leadership to setup a system like this and the willingness of nursing home residents to be isolated for long periods of time. If we had either of those things we'd be able to contain the virus in the broader population.
