I totally understand how the disease works. If older people are scared of getting it and dying they should stay home. It's not the young people's fault for being a "bridge". It's simple, if you don't want to risk getting it, just stay home and let everyone make their own choices[/quote]

We can't.  We are trying really hard in my family to protect my husband (he's 61 but has three illnesse that make him extremely high risk)

We could shelter in place to some extent, for two-three months.  But he NEEDS to have medical care, which means he needs to come into contact with people in the outside world.  He had a heart attack, and had to be transported to the hospital via an ambulance... putting him in contact with people.  He lives in a house with three other people and some of us need to go out to work and for our own necessary medical care.  He needs physical therapy, occupational therapy, and in home nursing care.  All the people who come to the house to provide that live with other people and are exposed through their own lives.

Low community spread protects him and keeps the people who care for him free from disease as well.  It is very sad that people don't seem to care about anyone who is high risk, and just want them to hide away from all people forever, instead of doing what is necessary to just slow the spread of this illness to a low amount we can keep in check.[/quote]
