That is a complete misreading of what they are trying to do, which is flattening the curve and making sure more people can be treated with the medical resources they can measure and substantiate.

> which is flattening the curve

You are NOT flattening jack shit by having all your young population become infected!! [0]

They are NOT gonna mass transport ALL the elderly population to a far away island and isolate them there, they all are gonna get infected and the NHS is going to collapse because of it

There already have been cases documented of people getting infected because of unsealed bathroom toilet pipes on apartment buildings... [1]
