and that's when it gets tricky. How many people are primary caregivers for someone at risk? OK, take those people and all their kids and spouses. How many people are at risk themselves? 24 million Americans have auto-immune diseases, so take away all of them and their kids and spouses. 15% of Americans are over 65. 14% of Americans smoke, so take away them and their kids and spouses.

Shoot, obesity is considered a risk factor for COVID. 50% of Americans are considered obese, so take away them and their kids and spouses.

Now what are you left with? So if you're a teacher, try teaching to a classroom that's half filled, while also needing to do zoom calls for the half that are at home. That's what I mean. It is not sustainable. So then it's much easier to have the kids ALL at home so you can effectively teach everyone. And if the kids are at home, then the parents have to stay home.

And that's how we get to where we are at now.

I'm not necessarily opposed to an idea of "only isolating those at risk", because I recognize the economic devastation right now is great. However, we need to recognize it's really impossible to "only isolate those at risk" effectively. We can try, but we won't be able to do it effectively.
