I think the issue is with this zoonotic virus is about containment and ensuring it doesn’t spread and causes sickness as we do with the flu virus. In its present form it is not an indiscriminate killer virus.
Young people will, invariably, survive the infection, while the elderly, who have underlying health issue to start with, are more at risk of dying
It’s about containment and ensuring the virus doesn’t mutate into something more lethal imo.
