If old and fat people have a high risk and everyone else is basically fine, why not just lock down the old and fat people?

Because "old and fat" people make up about half of the population and you can't isolate them from the other half effectively when the infection is rampaging there. This has already been explained countless times.

If young and healthy people exercising on the road are at high risk for being struck by drunk drivers, why not lock down the young healthy people?

For the same reason why you're expected to wear a mask even if you had COVID-19 a month ago.
