The CDC is recommending that [b]seniors 60+[/b] and those with medical conditions stay home and avoid crowds as much as possible starting now.

From https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/health/maryland-officials-coronavirus-risk-at-retirement-community/2233549/:
Anyone who attended the gathering between noon and 6 p.m. should watch for symptoms like fever, cold-like symptoms, coughing, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath until March 13. They should check their temperature twice a day. Anyone who develops symptoms should contact their health care provider and health department to get instructions about testing and care.

I read this in the CNN article, but where does the CDC define "older people" as 60+.   That's a lot of working people, and they will need more than a newspaper article to justifying staying out of work. [/quote]
