If your below 60 they should give us a choice to go back to work. Honestly older people should be getting quarantined instead of the whole population.

Yet the hospitalization rate from people who contract Corona under 55 in America is over 20 percent, with almost 5 percent of patients under 55 ending up in critical condition. We also know this virus is incredibly contagious and despite probably the most extreme anti-pandemic measures in human history, corona cases are still rising exponentially around much of the world.
Allowing people under 60 to end their self quarantine makes the disastrously stupid assumption that mortality rates will remain consistent as cases rise exponentially. Mortality rate for those under 55 in America is said to be under one percent. But how do you think things will go for the five percent of people under 55 who require critical care but won't be able to receive it because the hospitals will be overflowing? Here's a hint: not well.
This isn't just about old people. Young relatively healthy people will die if they can't receive the treatment they require.
Stay inside.
