Hmm lock away all the 70+ for 4 months. Is that feasible. What about the 60-70 that are also at risk and all those with pre-existing conditions. Who is going to take care of all the 70+ in retirement homes and those that need help daily. Who is going to bring them decontaminated food etc.

Wacky idea, and looking at Italy it's not just 70+ that need the ICU...
