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.
...and I know...... (actually I do, early 40s mother of 2, off her feet for 10 days). Also we know Dominic and Boris.... but enough of that anecdotal evidence.
You may want to ask yourself why no other jurisdiction has gone down your suggested route. You might also want to read the minutes of SAGE meetings from January onwards in which questions such as yours were considered.
