How do they choose who?

First 20% (or more) is already out there working "emergency" based jobs (which sadly seems to include almost everything lol).

Second 20% would probably be by age, or if you work in certain other jobs that are high demand but were not emergency before. It doesn't have to be exactly 20% just about that much.

I would probably say you slowly increase the age range of people released. So emergency only at first, then say people between 18-30 next, 30-40 after that, then 40-50 and finally 50-60.

Anyone over 60 or with medical conditions stay home for another month and get supplimented by the gov so they can afford that (if they are not already on Social Security or disability etc). Same for people with medical conditions.

There is a very low death rate for people under 30...so the first group would be a test group, and wouldn't be released till april 16th anyway (more than 2 weeks from now when we would start a REAL quarantine ...ie....no more people just going out/having parties etc.)

On the 16th you release everyone 18-30, hospitals should be mostly free by then to handle any cases. That will give a good idea of how well this will work. If it works well, on the 30th (or May 1st) you release everyone 30-40 then on the 15th everyone 40-50, and end of maybe 50-60.

At that point most everyone is back to work and things are getting back to normal. You keep the elderly/sick inside at least through june, keeping an eye on new cases. If there are no new cases for 2 weeks (before the end of june) you start releasing the ones who are younger but with mild conditons (high blood pressure, asthma etc), and see how that works. As long as nobody starts catching it again, you release everyooe by the end of june.

Still seems like forever to me, but it would be the safest way I can think of to handle this.
