Why? Tell me how long are you going to isolate everyone? Years? COVID-19 isn't disappearing after a month or two. It can flare up again. We don't have any proof that would Covids flair up again if it was suppressed. China and South Korea have surveillance that has allowed them to catch Covids cases coming from abroad and eliminate home grown cases. This is simply not the flu. The idea that "it's just a flu" is still attractive in people's heads. People aren't good at estimating personal risk. Me: Yeah, these are the deluded and despicable ideas going around. No, the economic cost of dealing with the massive death of any group would be huge.* I'm just pointing it out. People over 70 generally are not economically productive, but they do cost a lot in terms of health care and social security, a lot of which is unfunded liabilities. It doesn't matter if someone is economically productive, their death can still be extremely expensive. If enough people die together and there aren't people to remove the bodies, the cost in lost economic activity and other diseases is pretty bad.
