A CDC document titled Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings that was published in July 2020 discusses the “shielding approach” to quarantine “high risk” individuals that includes older adults and and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Innocent people who and symptom-free could be ripped away from their families and loved ones, put on lockdown, and lose their freedom. The CDC admits that the effectiveness of preventing infection using the shielding approach, a euphemism for strict, mass quarantines, has never been documented.

The CDC claims that the shielding approach is intended to alleviate stress on the healthcare system and to avoid long-term containment measures and lockdowns.

(Joke) My sister had a good idea last February/March when this all started, before it spread to the US. She said that the elderly and people at risk should all enjoy a long cruise vacation, so we younger people could keep all the businesses and schools open. We younger people would all catch it and develop herd immunity. Then the at-risk people could come back...being well-rested and well-fed. She was joking, but it could have worked. Haha. The elderly would have been safe on the cruise ships if they left early enough and the staff was not switched out.
