Good point but at the same time I note that many of the retired in places like Florida seem to have been frightened enough to practice lockdown even though it wasn't demanded. Outliers/rebels are going to happen in any society, I would think epidemiologists take a number of those into account? I don't know for a fact that our retired demographic is so different overall than anywhere else, now that I think about it, for example Italy, France, UK--they had trouble there really getting everyone to obey rules. Aren't disobedient types factored in, not expecting 100% compliance. For the most part elderly feel fragile, like protected environments, i.e., not able to fight off a mugger like they used to be able to.

Also I think of how well this type of plan fits with gig workers, they don't do 9-5 office to begin with. I.E. an independent free-lance worker in museum work of some kind, they would have no trouble being limited on the number of days they can go on site and doing most of their work at home. Same with academia. Or like software sales and support.

A downside I just saw discussed on twitter--the thing about alternating shared desks and workspaces which has apparently become very common. A big problem without rigorous cleaning. And who is to do that cleaning, cleaning teams in hazmat suits?
