Aren't virologists predicting that 60-70% are going to get it, no matter what? What is the "extended time" that you are talking about?
Close to half of COVID infections result not even in a cough. Going by the mostly elderly population on the Diamond Princess, mortality with proper treatment is going to be significantly lower than 1%. Flatten the curve? Sure, but we can't be locking down the entire country indefinitely.
The youth already begrudge the elderly, locking them down for months will make them wish they were dead. Remember how a year felt like an eternity when you were 16?
Also, most youth don't care about global warming either. They're just virtue signaling. It really isn't that important, if they understood what they would have to give up on to stop it, they would embrace it and look forward to spring break in North Dakota.

Possibly?

If we're all sick at once can we all get proper treatment?
We're all making assumptions and treating our ideas like they have to be true. We still don't actually know, we will only know in retrospective, and that's important to keep in mind. We can't know what's going to happen, and I think we need to be more cautious than optimistic. Where's the line between that an insanity? I don't know, but we can't act like we know the math, especially when we're getting equal and opposite information every day.
