For #3, I agree. I'd be interested to see the math on how many under-50's need hospitalization, ventilation, and how severe of an additional effect would that have. It may be that it requires less medical capacity to support a high percentage of the healthy population contracting the virus, than a far lower percentage of the general population (including over-50 crowd) contracting it. Or it may require vastly more capacity. I have no idea.
The other thing to take into account is the effect dragging this out has on developing economies. It seems like this is shutting down international supply chains and food shortages could result. So that's what's got me feeling like more aggressive action should be considered.
