[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are all these people clamoring to eat indoors at restaurants? It's crazy.

I wish Elrich would declare one day every week 100% inside dining, so the idiots could pack in and start creating some herd immunity for the rest of us. [/quote]

This is what I was saying last summer.  Lockdowns stretch out the cases.  Lots of asymptomatic cases in young people last summer would have been the best thing for older people this winter.[/quote]

You mean, it would have been much better if lots of young people had gotten lots of old people sick, last summer? Why would this have been better?[/quote]

No (I won't call you an unkind name).  [b]Given that old and vulnerable people were being asked to isolate[/b], yes, lots of cases in young healthy people during a short time period would have shortened their isolation. (Not to mention, better for the young people who could have then avoided continued major disruption to their lives in the name of helping isolated old people.[/quote]

As my mother (age 89) said, when a relative proposed this to her - isolate where? in a concentration camp for old people?

It is not possible to isolate old and vulnerable people from community spread, without locking them plus care providers in a closed facility, [b]nobody in, nobody out.[/b][/quote]

Which is impossible. My cousin has been distancing from his uncle for a year, only visiting outdoors masked. However, one of the uncle’s aides tested positive for covid and he died two weeks later. The aide was asymptomatic. [/quote]

That is a sad story.  But it illustrates how it’s actually impossible to fully protect the elderly so maybe some of them would rather not spend the last year of their life locked down in a house.  My friend’s grandmother was in a similar situation.[/quote]
