If you look at the recent data for the COVID-19 deaths in New York, 86% of all deaths were among people who had underlying health issues, specifically hypertension and diabetes. (Source:

That is a very defined high risk group category.
About 100 million Americans have hypertension and diabetes.
Roughly about 30% of the population have those conditions.
That's still better than having 97% of the population under total social distancing measures.
