Except it's not just the elderly you're tossing into a reactor. Something north of 30% of the population in the US is at high risk due to either age or complicating conditions. And I'm being generous on the 30%. Add up all the diabetics, cancer patients, heart issues, copd, obese, auto-immune disorders and you're closer to 50%. You can't just isolate them based on sheer #s while everyone else goes "back to normal". A normal, btw, that can't and won't exist as long as there is no answer for the virus because every single person not in that high risk category will be living with/taking care of/worried about someone that is at risk.
The economy will continue to be a wreck as long as there is no effective medical answer to the virus, whether it's vaccine, therapeutic, positive mutation, etc..
