It does beg the question why we didn’t just quarantine the old and sick for 3 months, and go for the herd immunity route. Pass some type of law that guarantees they won’t be fired due to absences and give some temporary assistance to those people.

I have some real concerns about how well this would work, but it’s nice to see a proposed approach that actually considers all the issues that would affect the quarantined population beyond just avoiding death. As someone who’s immune compromised but nowhere near old, I’m grateful for measures that mitigate the risk ... to a point. That point doesn’t include anything resembling economic collapse or widespread suffering.
We’re still so far behind in our data that it’s really hard to figure out the true cost-benefit analysis, but I’m willing to take one for the team if we’re obviously getting into net-loss territory for everyone else. Hopefully somebody would at least save me a spot in the hospital in the event I need a little help kicking corona’s arse.

That's close to what the UK is doing and it seem to be working better and they'll likely avoid the dreaded second wave.
