The coronavirus is deadly to the elderly and those with weakened bodies already, mostly due to voluntary choice of a bad lifestyle.”

Yes, those of us that are older, as am I, should be careful. Also those with co-morbidities.

But those younger and in good health should be able to go to work and outdoor activities should be open.

It is not up to the states or any government to look after with those who might be in danger. One would hope that those of us that have been living quite a while can look after their own health. Like, wise, those with health conditions should be enough aware to look after themselves. No government is our overlord, our lives and health should be our own concern.

They should, but do understand that many you might consider as being in good health with decades of active life ahead of them have the co-morbidities they are describing. This disease appears to have some weird relationship with high blood pressure such that even a very mild high blood pressure that gives a person less than a 1% elevated chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years appears to make one vulnerable.
