Since older folks are the hardest hit, they should be wise enough to take even more precautions and not affect the rest of the country as much.
I’m good with the social distancing for the most part but think it’s going overboard a bit now. However rules and regs have to be applicable to the lowest common denominator of society and our “risk” for those that don’t live in population dense areas and have outdoor jobs or limited outside interaction or greater than sweater weather IQ are less at risk.
Nursing homes? Idk, if you’re there, your number is almost up anyways. Sounds cruel but it pained me to see my grandma and others in the nursing home and I wished for her, as she did as well (we talked about it when she was coherent enough), that she would die. One good case of covid would have spared her years of dimentia and agony.
Promoting healthy lifestyles and medical advancements are great for longevity of life, but postponing the inevitable for many who’s race is already run, is a part of the drain on our economy too.
If I’m 80 sitting in a nursing home, I’ll hope something pulls my plug for me.
