Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?Indiscriminate quarantining of all over seventy year olds will have a negative impact on those who are still employed; charities and volunteers who support food banks and voluntary organisation's. Many within this age cohort mind grandchildren after school and during school holidays which will prevent parents and cares from working. Many over seventy year olds have developed healthy lifestyles such as walking, involvement in sports and environmental projects and once these habits are neglected it is possible that they will become irrelevant. Whilst we understand the rational behind this proposal it would be preferable to monitor the virus and to adjust the lengths of isolation in line with risk assessments. The lack of women involved in decision making at the Coronavirus level is concerning and perhaps a panel of representive and knowledgeable individuals could advise and inform these experts ...and the PM of course.
