Group 1: Ages 0-40
This group does not need to practice social distancing or change any behavior with respect to each other in this group. This group can work, play and go about their daily lives as normal with the exception of respecting the practice of social distancing with group 2, 3 and 4.
Group 2: Ages 40-60
This group should exercise some caution when going out in public ( gloves and masks) and protective distancing if they feel it is in their best interest.
Group 3: Ages 60-80+
This group should practice social distancing and avoid going out into the public domain only when necessary.
Group 4: Those at risk w/ preexisting conditions
Maintain complete isolation and have care givers tested regularity for COVID-19 if possible.
Anyone experiencing any type of flu or cold symptoms should consider themselves temporarily part of group 4 and self isolate for the duration of symptoms.
Hadn’t heard that 0-40 was immune. :-)
Complete bullshit.
You haven o idea of how epidemics work. This will lead to needless illness and death.

You do what you want. Mankind is in deep doo doo at this point.
Not only do you not have a clue, but you have no common sense.
Bump
You have households of all age ranges. You have workplaces of all age ranges.
To many of the under 40 crowd still get sick and need hospitalization. 20% of hospitalizations were aged 20-44."
Keep thinking.
Here’s the problem with what you propose. You’re using common sense. I don’t think that’s allowed anymore.
Yeah your first group spent spring break partying. Then they carried Covid19 back home with them
It’s not all about age. Lots of people are in group 4 regardless of age. Any metabolic syndrome. Huge bellies even if thin, or diabetes or obesity. Also children and teens - no one knows which of them have underlying immune issues. A baby died just today or yesterday of covid.
People nutritionally deficient may get harder cases than others. People who once had asthma or maybe even respiratory allergies.
I’d like to get back to normal but I believe it’s more the underlying immune strength than just the ages that determines who gets the worst cases.
The 18 to 24 group on spring break did a lot to spread the WuhanFlu.
The stratification by age makes some sense. The young are getting a glimpse of what their mortality risk profile from regular flu will be when they are 30 years older. Roughly it is .01% for someone under 40, .1% for 40-60 and 1% for someone over 60. The fatality rate varies by a factor of 100. I can understand why someone under 40 wants to get to work. And why someone over 60 should be quarantined, maybe lose their job to the younger competitor.. but live longer.
