And to refer back to my point made when you last said that, your idea falls down completely when the younger and more probably infected mix with essential workers in the health service (for example) and other hubs where the elderly and/or unhealthy have to go from time to time. If the disease became endemic, as it inevitably would if all youngsters were given free reign, it fairly likely that all of the doctors and consultants in the health sector would get it (many of which aren't necessarily that healthy themselves) which would also decimate the health service's ability to deal with the likely massive spike in cases they're having to deal with
