What problem do you think you're solving by deliberately allowing all the under 50s to get infected?

They all get it, they (almost) all recover, they are then no longer carriers of it and can go and help the over-50s. I'm not saying that's a workable plan, but I think that's the logic.

Making sure the boomers with their triple-lock pensions aren't affected by the economic cost of a full lockdown, at the cost of the lives of a few tens of thousands of under 50s, seems to be the general gist of it.

Deaths by age group - maybe some of you guys should look at the FACTS. About 1% of them are the <50's. Which are just normal seasonal (endemic) flu figures. Here is the data from Italy.

Keeping the >50's and other high risk groups in lockdown would work.
