      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.

      W...t...f...? Seriously, just say you don't care if some people die and move on rather than trying to pin your shitty takes on "personal choices". Unfortunately, I don't have a personal choice to live in a society like NZ and I'm stuck with underwhelming shitstains like you.

      It's really telling that NZ is busy celebrating their amazing success at pandemic response and there's idiot fuckstains from the US and the UK tsking and shaking their heads "But their economic growth, though"

          New Zealand and its catastrophic drop of 12% in GDP compared to the UK's fantastic, robust, well-defended drop of 25.6% of GDP.

          Also, let's ask, WHOSE GROWTH? Because if we're talking about the kind of growth that continues to enrich Bezos and other one percenters then also FUCK THAT. The truth is the working class economy was already shattered and the pandemic is just throwing that into stark relief.

          EVERYONE ELSE'S ECONOMY IS GOING TO FLOURISH IN THE VOID WHERE ONLY OUR CORPSES REMAIN. Seriously though our economy being in the shitter has everything to do with DOING WHAT THE ECONOMISTS SAID WAS BAD (i.e. bouncing around between opened and closed).

          And also probably the lack of social safety net and infrastructure that everyone has always pointed out would be catastrophic in an emergency. Well HELLO EMERGENCY, caught us with our pants down? Somehow I anticipated this but locking the door was too much work.
