We have 1-2 years before COVID-19 lockdowns are lifted permanently.
Until then, government’s globally have adopted indiscriminate social distancing measures.
However, +99% of COVID-19 deaths are from those with pre-existing conditions.
If we targeted and isolated these high-risk individuals, would we be able to significantly reduce deaths, and secure hospital systems?
Would this be feasible with a government support program to enable high-risk to stay home, or move to care facilities, to protect them from the virus?
