Is The Lockdown Necessary
It's a nuanced question and it should be a little bit more involved in terms of treatment, testing and containment strategy. And it doesn't need to be so binary.
It may be that we need a more nuanced policy where you say, let's keep people over 65 years old, and give them a strong recommendation to stay home. Make sure that you distribute helpful drugs to doctors around the country. As soon as elderly people start having symptoms, they maybe get some treatment. But, you know, that's kind of an option. You keep 65 year olds at home, you do random test general population for antibodies. And once you hit a certain percentage of the population having been exposed to this thing, it may be that at that point you say, okay, the over 65 limit is lifted. You also do it with medicine being distributed.
