Kevin Duffy on the two choices to deal with the coronavirus

1 in 295,000 people under the age of 35 have died of Covid-19. Why should their lives be put on hold for such a minuscule risk?

The correct plan should've been targeted isolation for those most at risk and normal lives for the rest, minimizing the economic damage AND the risk of infection to the high-risk group as the low-risk group gained herd immunity. Of course this plan takes into account the unique situation of every individual and is compatible with a free society.

Instead, the plan we got crammed down our throats by the authorities and egged on by the fearmongering media was universal isolation, one-size fits all. Sadly, most people accepted this because they were scared out of their wits and chose security over liberty.
