Anyone have a clue what the right wing meant by protecting the vulnerable? Covid 19

From the beginning, we have heard how it is inhumane to lock folks down. That we SIMPLY needed to protect the vulnerable. This was sold as a simple task. Which would allow all the rest of us to carry on without heed of any dangers.

I saw no funding for getting the vulnerable any help. No structures built. No stores, no network, no nothing.

Does anyone have the slightest clue what was intended for the task of protecting the vulnerable? All I ever heard was, if you are ASKEERED, then stay home.

There was no funding for quarantining the old folks that got out of hospital, rather than place them back in the old folks home they came from. And yet, the right wing lays all blame on Cuomo.

The only payment given to the retired elderly was the first payment.

No provision for feeding the locked down.

==================================
Generally, I already know the answer. My right wing antivaxx sister, told me to my face, that there are NO DISABLED. Those that were bedridden, should be supplied eight hours work, and should they not complete their tasks, every day, they should starve to death. Arbeit macht frei

I asked, what if doing that work leads to a downgrade in their condition? Her reply, you didnt die today did you? You got up and walked across the room today, did you not? Did you die?

I have severe heart failure and she said this to me without any remorse. And this is not some stranger, this is blood, wishing death to blood.

She got a call from social services that offered her a free stay in a hotel so she could isolate from her family, grocery/meal delivery, daily calls from a nurse, etc., also required paid leave from her job.

It was like she was living in Canada or the EU! Like-- "We really want you to quarantine, and we're going to actually make it possible for you to do so!!!"

But I listen to them all day, and they... blend in together.
"Is that Jake Tapper? No, it's Ali Velshi!"

I'll see if I can get a link.
Here's the "quarantine hotel program" in NYC.

word "vulnerable" they're referring to people who have already been indicted, tried and
imprisoned or who are otherwise in the Legal System pipeline. They don't care about
anybody else.
