Which is what we all want isn't it? The young who are less threatened by the virus to go about their lives, go to the pub, get back to school, work etc - and those who are at most risk (the old, obese, those with underlying conditions etc) stay isolated.
I know several people who have had Covid19 - all were under 60 and fairly fit. Not one of them needed a day off work as the symptoms were so slight and a couple of them didnt even realise they had had it. Telling them to stay isolated instead of allowing them to resume normal life is not going to save tens of thousands of jobs in the economy.
