In response to your last sentence, whilst you could be right, it's just about flattening the curve so not all those who will need hospitalisation, require it at the same time and overload those medical staff and resources. It's not about keeping us from contracting the virus, it's about limiting the numbers that have it at any one time. I could be wrong, I too am an idiot at times
