I'm surprised there is not more interest in this post. As an elderly population, we pretty much have no choice but to practice social distancing until there's a cure or there's a vaccine. This gives us a way out. The cost is minuscule compared to what we've already been doling out. Added benefit, we'd have a plan and we'd have some hope.
