We are not talking about just people just with co-morbidities like old age and overweight, diabetic etc. We are talking SPECIFICALLY about the population resident in nursing homes. One of every three virus deaths came from a nursing home. So we shut down 99.9% of the country to protect the 0.1% and that strategy obviously failed. Let's try something different when the next virus comes along.
