In this case a larger group (society in general) is enduring overwhelming detriment so a small group of people can go outside their homes. Very old people with preexisting conditions like diabetes and obesity are virtually the only ones dying of Covid, that too with a low mortality rate of somewhere between 1-3%. If you really want to save their lives, restrict them to their homes, don’t tell the entire society to wear a mask, not congregate in large numbers, and maintain 6 feet distance from each other. What kind of incompetent policy is this?
