Let young get herd immunity, in the meantime isolate elderly, this idea s just a fantasy.
Unless military style isolation, no visitors, no outings of all personnels in caring homes, in house infection is inevitable. That is why so many deaths there. That is why china had to force people out of their own houses, other wise all vulnerable wiould be infected in house eventually.
Some say “overreaction" is due to overemphasize of elderly importance, maybe in eastern worlds where elderly commands big respect, I don,t see that in western worlds.
Imagine if this virus mainly focus on youngsters, how would western react then? I predict a style similar to Chinese way.
In many ways, western values are like the old times of china history of northern nomadic people culture, focusing on youngs.
