What If Virus Lockdowns Targeted People Based on Vulnerability?

Can you isolate people in skilled nursing facilities?

No. They are cared for by young nurses and techs.

If there was an alternative way of caring for residents, don't you think they would have figured it out already?

How do you help someone take a bath in isolation? You can't.

How do you help someone get dressed and ready for breakfast, but not be near them?

How do you help someone who's confused and fell in the middle of the night, but isolate them?

You can't. You're asking and I'm telling.

ou don't know anything about caring for the elderly, yet you make suggestions that we isolate them. I'm telling you it's impossible but you insist on thinking there's another way because you have no experience.

If you create a robot that can bathe my grandma I would be very happy. But until you come up with a solution, you can't aggressively advocate for it if it's fake.

I'm interested in real solutions. This idea is a fantasy by people who don't know how most of us live.
