Unless you can somehow enforce a lockdown on all the younger people who work there too (including their families), any "herd immunity" strategy is just sentencing all the nursing homes to death

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 don't remotely understand what a moral hazard is.

Lol, yeah, like I got fat (or, rather, I repeatedly lost weight and then gained it back again over the course of decades) because I just didn't realize that being fat was a bad thing and lacked the proper motivation
