The idea of isolation was most prominently attempted by Sweden, the UK, and the Netherlands. To call it "right in this regard" is, in this regard, wrong. These countries are leading the per-capita corpse count. In the case of Sweden, deaths are about ten-fold that of neighbouring and rather similar Norway. And people are still dying at peak levels in Sweden, while Norway now goes a week without deaths. Of course it's "right" to "keep vulnerable people away from danger". It just doesn't work. Elderly people in care homes need, well, care. Also food, and medical attention, and housecleaning, and maybe even social contact. All of those needs are provided by young people. How is this separation supposed to work?
