Young people will die not just from the virus, but from inadequate medical care caused by overloaded hospitals.

It’s a shit situation for young adults, but sometimes life isn’t fair.

Sure, but younger have less need of medical care in general.

Moreover, lock down all the elders and the ICU won't be so busy...

How do you lock down elders? Do you expect cops to look at people's IDs and check if they're 65+? This is ridiculous, the only practical way is to close places where people are inclined to gather such as bars/restaurants etc.

If we can ban people under 21 from bars we can ban people over 65. I'm not sure we should, but it's not a logistical impossibility.

True, but that doesn't mean a whole lot of young people wouldn't needlessly die.

You seem really committed to turning this into a generational thing.
