> Those over retirement age by definition can choose where to go during the day.
You somehow left out the fact that people can't see where the virus is or who carries it. Thus if you are, say, in a retirement home operated and visited freely by those you claim that have nothing to worry about then what chance do they have to avoid being exposed to the virus?
And all it takes is one exposure to get the virus to spread like wildfire within the retirement home. That's been observed in Italy and Spain.
The problem is even more serious if elderly live with family.
Additionally, you also left out the fact that your reference shows signifixant excess deaths in the cohort 46-64yo representing an increase of about 18% wrt the baseline.
I didn't leave anything out. Read it again. But it is interesting how your reply is full of problems that are easily solved without inconveniencing the majority of society (the majority being under the age of 42).
Similarly the denominator game won't save you because I can do maths. Do the numbers again with the population total in that age range.
Then compare that to the chance of dying on the operating table if you opt to have surgery.
Then remember I'm in that age range and have assessed the risk.
Now tell me again why you think you have the right to tell me what I can and can't do?
