Don't end up in a nursing home.

The thing is nursing homes and the immune compromised don’t live in a vacuum where they can get what they need, i.e. food, necessities, physical assistance, without fear of exposure.
The people that work with them and those in the supply chain are out in the world and risk bringing it in or out.
Not impossible to mitigate but can’t be “business as usual” either.
Taking away the liberty of the healthy is not an acceptable way to care for the elderly or immuno-compromized.
The GOP has gone full "let people die and sacrifice yourself to your workplace"
You are free to shelter at home for the next 5 years if that's what makes you happy.
Go read the Politico about Graham County, NC where they locked the whole thing down at the county level, of/by/for the county officials, and the local inbreds who disagree blame the state government in Raleigh, but wouldn't give their names for fear of reprisals.
Then they cry about Medicaid expansion, they go to lobby for it because their local inbreds need it, otherwise people die, and the state GOP asks if they'll vote for Democrats if they don't get it, they say no because of social issue reasons.
Then get you some dessert here:
Older Americans Sour on Trump’s Handling of the Outbreak
As Trump increasingly signals interest in prioritizing economic interests, America’s senior citizens are growing critical of his approach.

Republicans just became the biggest fans of late-term abortion.
They're pushing hard for 300th trimester abortions.
In other news, Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) as of a week ago is now a majority shareholder in Shopvac and several woodchipper manufacturers.
No, I'm not suggesting it. I'm saying it point-blank.
Well.....ok maybe that's not entirely fair.....they're pro-life as long as you're white and not old, sick or, middle-class, or poor.
People in nursing homes are at risk for all communicable diseases. Does that mean we should never have business as usual again?
Murder hornets are here now. They're dangerous to people who are allergic to bees, should we shelter in place for those as well? What about the flu this fall?

Why do you hate western culture so much! Look what “we” built. If it wasn’t for western culture we’d still be living in mud huts and doing blood sacrifices to a weird deity so we could have a successful harvest. Look how far we’ve progressed as a civilized society!
Now hurry up and feed grandma to the DOW, the stock market is hangry.
Edit: iFall, my point is it’s not as simple as saying “skeert people just stay home”. Until there’s a vaccine, established treatment or herd immunity, the general populace should take some extra precautions. I agree the economy needs to reopen and think we can be smart about it.

Also, yet more ignorance in this thread about how pandemics work.
Even the retirement homes are not deserted islands that you can simply seal off.
Not even mentioning that the majority of CV deaths in the US are not happening in retirement homes, unless you presume that everybody over 65 is in a retirement home, which is not the case.
