Why did't anyone schedule quarantines,like you would be allowed to drive or enter a business during certain times of the day of certain days. Using things like drivers license or license plate numbering,immune system vulnerability and other factors.

Especially when lifting the lockdown, I would have lifted lockdowns strictly for people who have no violations during the lock down. And prioritize scheduling based on age and medical exceptions. Maybe have hours of the day strictly for vulnerable people with hard restrictions and a separate time for people that have already recovered.

It seemed to me this was a great idea that never materialized beyond "old folks get to use the grocery store exclusively before 11am." If I could schedule an hour at a grocery store, or Home Depot, a few days before, rather than having to stand in a 6 foot spaced line that extenders literally around the building. Curb side pickup is nice, but its really just a worse Amazon.

This seems like a missed opportunity for a "service" business that everybody seems to be clamoring for.
