... continue to "isolate" the vulnerable while allowing "low risk" healthy people to go back to business as usual. It is a ridiculous notion that has been popping up in the last day or so.
I can see no practical way to divvy up people into "healthy, low risk, go back business as usual" and "continue quarantine, older, vulnerable..."
For example, how does a multi-generational family protect the vulnerable while allowing the "low risk" members to carry on as usual and get infected, or not, as the case may be.
I don't know about other people's experience, but my experience is that there are a lot more households with multiple generations living together in high density areas, where incidence is likely to be the highest, and where everyone should be following precautions to the letter to limit spread and protect the most vulnerable.
I've lived in, and visited friends in, buildings and walk ups in high density areas. If I can smell the smoke from a neighbor's cigarette, you can bet I am not "isolated" from virus laden droplets circulating in the air. How do you protect and isolate the vulnerable in such a building from the "healthy, low risk" people who go about their business and get exposed/ill?
Furthermore, he talks about unaffected areas. We have no idea if there are unaffected areas because the areas where there are the fewest cases have done practically no testing. Without widespread testing, there is no way to identify regions in which it may be possible to lift general restrictions because the incidence is so low it is containable with testing, tracing, and quarantine.
DT seems to think there is some magical way to get back to "normal." There isn't.
