Finally, it seems we have accumulated enough data from Covid-19 cases to focus in on how we can properly and strictly protect our vulnerable populations and reopen our economies. We know that if a person has underlying health problems* they have a far higher risk so need additional protections. We know that people over 65 years old and people living in long-term care facilities are more at risk. In fact, the most recent update from Idaho's Covid-19 statistics show 58 of the 60 reported deaths occurring in individuals 60 or older. If a person does not fit any of these three high risk categories, then their risk of getting seriously ill from Covid-19 is small. This data seems to suggest that giving different guidance to different segments of our population may have merit.
