The problem is there will be absolutely no proof in the pudding!!! We are cooking only one pudding essentially, its will taste how it tastes, with no other pudding to compare it to it will be the best and the worst pudding we have!! Governments are making decisions, some planned, some on the fly, each decision causes one effect, and each discarded decision causes an effect, problem is the decision we make means the rest of the potential decision become hypothetical!!
If we strictly quarantine elderly people, then that will likely reduce the number of deaths, but will it have any effect on the spread? If we test everyone it won't stop the spread at all, it will just tell us whether they were infected at the time of the test, but if they leave the test room and then meet someone who does have it then they will still get it!! So far we have seen very few healthy people under 60 die from this virus, is there an argument to let it spread among these people, who will survive and will then build an immunity to it and protect those most vulnerable in our society from ever getting it in the first place?? I don't know if that would work at all but I can guarantee that the country would continue to operate as such. Governments have to look after their citizens and part of that means having a country and infrastructure left after this is done.
