Are older people more in danger of being furloughed or losing their jobs if they stay hunkered down ? I’m not sure how it is possible to (legally) discriminate based on overall age or health condition ?

Age is not the sole criteria. Underlying health conditions is the far more important criteria.
I know 75 year old people who are far more healthy than some overweight and diabetic 20 year old.
If an older person with underlying health conditions opts to go back to work, then those people should not come crying when they get infected and become seriously ill.
People need to take responsibility for their own actions. Government cannot create a ‘one size fits all’ strategy.
When the USA reopens, those people at all ages with existing health issues had better plan on hunkering down and not going to their local tavern and hanging out with their buddies.
