Lockdowns don’t protect Senior citizens because the workers in their communities bring the disease to them.

You through out 500k deaths which is a lot but you didn’t drill down on that number like I did. The information is on the CDC website. It is clear and plain. Nothing to argue about. We are locking down our country to protect the over 65 population who are still dying with Covid-19 not necessarily because of it. Why not allow the retirement communities to continue to protect their population while letting the rest of the world to go back to life usual? Lockdowns are not saving lives in the long term. They are delaying the ability to get to herd immunity.

If the deaths were occurring in the 20-40 age group like the Spanish Flu then lockdowns would make sense.

Bingo!

FYI, this was a known outcome from the beginning. Thus the concept of "flatten the curve"
