You write as if disease communicability isn’t a thing. If every healthy adult gets infected with Covid it’s no big deal, right? Except who will work in hospitals, nursing homes, and grocery stores? Those are all places full of old people who can get easily harmed by this disease.

There’s no magic solution to pandemics, only a choice between bad options. “Fuck it, let all the old people die off” never struck me as a reasonable option.
