Exactly. Enforce a lockdown of those workers if needed (with appropriate relief). Why it needs to extend beyond that makes no sense. "Somehow enforce". We can't be sure we can entice and enforce a lockdown of this smaller pop. But we're sure we can with the entire pop.? Come on

There are two terms you multiply together to see how effective a lockdown is, one of them being how strict the measures are and the other being how many people are doing it

Unless the effectiveness of your measures is actually 100% or nearly so, the number of people doing it matters a whole lot

No NPI is close to "100% or nearly so". None. So....

So any measures we do pass need to be as close to universial as possible, and any messaging that any group of people is immune or "doesn't need to worry" is deeply irresponsible

Who said any of this? No one is immune save those already infected. But not everyone is at grave risk. This is a fact. We *know* who the vulnerable population is. Focus.

Oh fuck you man You know who's vulnerable? Me I'm not in the "most vulnerable" group, but I'm vulnerable, largely because, to be blunt, I'm fat I do not expect the government to give me money anytime soon to enable me to "fully lock down" while everyone else parties

I get it. You're scared. Trying to be delicate here because I don't aim to insult but you realize your ask, right? That healthy people quarantine to protect you from your previous choices (obesity being mostly non-genetic)? This is the definition of moral hazard.

I don't give a shit how heritable you think obesity is and how I deserve to be punished for my "bad choices" (that most of the US population has mysteriously been making for generations, obviously correlated with poverty and stress) I'm not gonna die for the fucking NASDAQ

I'm not gonna kill someone else for it either, who may be significantly poorer and fatter than me and therefore have made "worse choices"

My sister has lupus, I also don't want her to die That's not known to be genetic either, so I guess you can't immediately blame it on "bad choices" and it's up in the air whether she deserves "healthy people" making an effort to save her life

I am a marathoner who paddled dragon boat and even now get praised at the doctor's office for being in "great shape," aside from the kidney thing. The pandemic stress directly caused another flare this summer so my doctors upped my immunosuppressant dosage. I'm 32.
