Even though COVID19 sometimes leads to need for treatment at intensive care units (ICU) also for younger individuals, the virus appears most dangerous for a selected group of the most vulnerable people. We must consider diverting our major efforts to protect the vulnerable-elderly and patients with preexisting comorbidities-by providing safe and assisted isolation and care; not least now that lockdown rules start to be relaxed. However, these measures have isolated subjects at risk, but have not increased immunization of the population with so called herd immunity through the transient infection of the less vulnerable. ./cache/cord-259619-sco0d5cc.txt ./txt/cord-259619-sco0d5cc.txt
