[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Average age of contracting this is 60 and death is 80. People that age should be just quarantining themselves. The rest of us don’t need to disrupt our lives over a cold and fever that is mild for over 90% of people[/quote] Not everyone 60-80 is retired. All of my specialists are over 60. DH’s oncologist is 61. Many lawmakers and school administrators are over 60. Things will falter if they stay home.[/quote] My boss is 70.[/quote] It's difficult because a lot of retired elders provide support to other elders. My parents live in a small community where the median age is high. They are in their early 70s and healthy and mobile. They have a regular circuit of older neighbors they check in on and they bring people meals if meals on wheels is cancelled due to weather. It would be very hard to fill in that kind of informal community support either because of quarantine or because of widespread illness.[/quote]
