Even if they are allowed to "shelter in place" to avoid reporting to work and make other special considerations for their needs (healthcare, food delivery, etc), the few people they would come into contact with would now have a higher risk of being carriers. So yes, I shortened to to "throw the old and the weak to the wolves" (quotation for quoting myself, not quoting trump, I never intended that to be a quote just my commentary on what he's effectively wanting to do).
So, he never proposed to "throw the old and weak to the wolves".
