Vaccines are great for focused protection if we prioritize older high-risk people and their care takers, like Florida. To minimize deaths, we must also urgently improve protection of the old through standard public health measures listed in the

Nursing home residents have highest risk, but <1% of US population. People >60 who should work from home or take short sabbaticals are fewer than those currently working from home. There are many retirees, but protecting them with e.g. grocery deliveries is relatively easy. 3/8

Not an economist, so I dare not make economic projections. The
#GreatBarringtonDeclaration is solely based on minimizing mortality from#COVID19 and minimize lockdown generated collateral damage from eg cancer, cardiovascular disease and mental health. 4/8http://www.gbdeclaration.org -
Few people <50 require hospitalization. To avoid overburdened hospitals, the key is to protect the old through focused protection. Everyone should take basic precautions, and nobody should deliberately get infected. That is stupid. Also increases the herd immunity threshold. 5/8

This still downplays that this >60 group is quite large, no? That’s almost 75 mill in US, 23% of the population. Then need to add <60s with co-morbidities, all who work and live with this group, etc. A large % of pop needing to be protected.
