Comment Covid-19 Deaths by Age Grouping (Score 0) 510

Using https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/ under "Age of Coronavirus Deaths". (NYC data is used because they are still gathering this information for all states.) Approximately 75% of all deaths in New York City are people 65 years and older. Of all the deaths at all ages, 75% are with underlying conditions. This data leads me to wonder if isolation of those over 65 and those with underlying conditions as well as correctly used masks could be as effective as a general lock down. (As long as you don't introduce infectious patients into the isolated population - see Florida for how to do it.)
