Unfortunately our leaders seem illogical, in asking everyone to self-isolate. The critical segment that should self-isolate is the elderly/sick. It really matters little if young/healthy people get the virus, any more than it matters if they get the flu. Asking ALL of society to self-isolate is madness, it will lead to the collapse of our society. Self-isolating the elderly/sick will protect them whilst preserving and intact society.


This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE! Young people can become carriers and infect the elderly (which I am now one of) even if they don't have direct contact with them. The virus can survive 3 days on hard surfaces. An infected person can touch a door handle that dozens of other people use, for example.
