I think young people should be fine to take occassional essential risks such as going to the pharmacy and grocery shopping. If we look at hospitalizations and ICU beds, they are largely taken up by older people. I am willing to be that there are a large number of people that could have avoided exposure to Coronavirus by following guidelines - with a long tail of exceptions (uninformed, accidental exposure, exposure due to no fault of their own, essential workers above 60, etc).

Fair enough. That wasn't clear from your initial post. I personally think that just like young people should do their best not to get infected and stress the medical system. We should do our best and not stretch other systems that are more important for these more vulnerable groups. If I get my groceries delivered, that might be taking a delivery slot away from someone else who would be exposed to more danger by going to the grocery store themselves.
