      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.

      You gonna give me the money to live in *actual* full quarantine, with airlocked food deliveries and shit? You gonna guarantee your "Reopen America" plan will extend those amenities to everyone who needs them?

          Comprehensive test-and-trace and quarantining only people who are actually infected would be much, much cheaper than quarantining the entire "vulnerable population" But is still apparently way too expensive to even consider

          Turning a *virus* that spreads indiscriminately through a population into a matter of personal responsibility is not a good take. Especially when we don't actually know the long term effects, or which people are likely to get them while others don't.

          This reminds me of the assholes who told me if I was afraid of COVID spreading rapidly at my workplace (schools) and killing me and my elderly mother (who lives with me due to being disabled), I should just quit my job. As if I don't need money for food, rent, etc.

          And *I'm* scares for myself in addition to my mom because every time an illness goes through, I catch it and get it worse and for longer than others. But I have bills, so work it is.
