the virus don’t require medical care or are asymptomatic.
They NEED to be out there to seed the population for antibodies & herd immunity to be established.
Isolate the “at risk” only.

“According to a recent Stanford University antibody study, the fatality rate of the infected is likely 0.1 to 0.2 percent. These numbers are far lower than past World Health Organization estimates that were 20 to 30 times higher and that spurred draconian lockdowns.”
“Of 6,570 confirmed COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions to date, 6,520, or 99.2 percent, had an underlying illness. If you do not already have an underlying chronic condition, your chances of dying are small, regardless of age.”
Infected people without severe illness are vehicles for establishing widespread immunity. By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable, ultimately ending the threat

“And young adults and children in normal health have almost no risk of any serious illness from COVID-19.”
”Vital population immunity is prevented by total isolation policies, prolonging the problem.“Atlas noted that “infection itself allows people to generate an immune response, antibodies, so that the infection is controlled throughout the population by ‘herd immunity.’”

Cancer patients deferred chemotherapy. An estimated 80 percent of brain surgery cases were skipped. Acute stroke and heart attack patients missed their only chances for treatment, some dying and many now facing permanent disability.
Older people & those with underlying conditions are more likely to have a serious illness requiring hospitalization and or die from COVID-19.
He’s called for an isolation policy that targets that group, including strictly monitoring those who interact with them.

Atlas noted that the overemphasis of Wuhan virus cases has “prevented diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, like cancer screening, biopsies of tumors now undiscovered and potentially deadly brain aneurysms.”

“In New York City...the rate of death for people 18 to 45 years old is 0.01 percent, or 11 per 100,000 in the population. On the other hand, people aged 75 and over have a death rate 80 times that. For people under 18 years old, the rate of death is zero per 100,000.”
“Of all fatal cases in New York state, two-thirds were in patients over 70 years of age; more than 95 percent were over 50 years of age; and about 90 percent of all fatal cases had an underlying illness.”
