Also, and this is actual science, the 66 year old is *not* more likely to become positive than of the 59 year old doing a critical job. He may, due to age and flab, be more likely to croak - but that’s why he should play it safe and stay home until the folks performing essential duties have been stuck.
All true and older Americans do get sicker with CV and then get into the hospital and then more die. Those are the statistics AND science. When the hospitals are clogged then all age groups get less or sometimes denied care. It just makes sense to do the older population 1st after hospital workers. And just check that England did it that way and have had the world's biggest decrease in positive cases. England PROVES what I have been saying as opposed to just someone's individual opinion.
