with a shutdown country, and a large portion of it with limited testing to prevent learning just how many more endured it (the kind of guesswork that gets included in the flu death comparisons).

The shut down has little to with which groups are vulnerable, just the amount of people who contract it (and some data even suggests that the isolation hasn't done near what we though in terms of limiting exposure).

I was 232 last summer, got down to 195 about four months ago on a strict diet, and now am back around 210 (at 6' even and age 63) and have a-fib. I'm pretty sure you're in no worse shape than I am, and I don't worry about getting the virus.

great work!
To be clear it was more of a, where do you draw the line question. I realize I'm not nearly as susceptible at my age and weight (which is dropping, getting outside / grilling is a big help)

So are all of them getting locked up? How about the middle age squishy guys like me, who try to float between 200-210 but were closer to 230 with the shutdown and are now legally obese?

Can you even lock us up?

some of the policy reversals, like the face masks, are because people refuse to obey. So you could start out trying to restrict the most overweight, but what happens when they defy those orders?

Now even the people who preferred your plan are mad at you, because your policy and goal posts are moving again.

I can’t get past “middle aged squishy guys!” Hahahaha!!!

I’m not trying to lock anyone up bro. Big difference between locking people up and providing them with information to make the decisions that are in their best interest.

I think a hard line can't be drawn...folks are going to have to self-evaluate as to whether they think they are vulnerable to the point they need to stay home or at least minimize going out.

So is your plan to warn people that they're vulnerable and then let them make good choices? Because we rarely make good choices as a species :)
