Immunity is age dependent. If we protect the low-risk young, through e.g. school closures, but not the high-risk elderly, sending infected individuals to nursing homes, then there will be many deaths. Very sad.

This is a new pandemic. There Risks are chronic heart disease, lung problems and nerve/brain problems. Herd immunity is not worth the risk, until we know more. You don't play with people's lives. People aren't statistics on a piece of paper
