60% spread is gong to happen. And it won’t be a disaster. Do you understand that slowing the spread is not the same as limiting the spread?

This is a new virus with unknown present and future lethality. Slowing the spread is obviously not the same as limiting the spread since the lethality will change as the virus mutates. So your point is valid over the next few years.

However considering the current assumptions of lethality, spreading widely right now would be a disaster. Also your notion that older and vulnerable people can be isolated is a nonstarter.
