To slow down the spread and ultimately reduce the number of people that will get to go in ICUs, go on a ventilator and/or die. Because those _are_ preventable, if they don't get infected. That, in turn, buys time to medical research & practice to mitigate and cure the disease, so that, later, when someone vulnerable is infected, we'll know better how to take care of them.
