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.

Folks - EVERYONE is vulnerable. This is not just an old persons disease, or one which only impacts people with compromised systems. Young people are also getting it and dying from it although at a lesser rate. And for those that survive, many of them have damaged lungs or hearts which could affect them later on in life.
Boris Johnson - a youthful 55 - got the virus and look at how he is faring. The UK originally had a let it rip strategy, but it didn't take long for them to see that it was going to be a disaster.
We all need to take it seriously. You don't want to mess around with this.
