I for one would prefer not to get sick in the first place, than to get sick and risk death while hoping to recover and become immune.
No one would be "sacrificed" under the Protect the Vulnerable plan. In fact, a vulnerable person would likely be safer from exposure if he/she remained isolated in their home for several weeks while the government paid to have groceries, medicine, and all other necessities delivered to them in sanitary packages. The cost of that would be a drop in the bucket compared to what all these stimulus bills are costing us. Plus, we wouldn't have to shut our economy down.

If a vulnerable person chose not to stay isolated at home for 6 weeks or so while the virus ran its course among the general population, then the risk of venturing out would be on them.
