Short term, our healthcare system being overwhelmed is a greater concern.
Long term, economic repercussion from imposed restrictions may be the greatest concern.
We had had and survived pandemics in the past without drastic measures.

Yes, I do know a person with Covid-19. And the person is not elderly. You will have to take my word on that, as I certainly am not going provide any more details on a public forum. But even if I didn't, your argument would not convince me. Given I have extended relatives who died in 1918 (was told those stories from my parents). In addition, I might remind you that the polio epidemic lead to social distancing as well.
