If everyone under 50 caught it, we'd have had way more than 30,000 deaths at this point because we've already had at least 30,000 deaths. You also assume that Covid doesn't have serious long term complications arising from infections that are still being discovered. So you're basically suggesting that we yolo it during a pandemic and ignore the consequences of such. Contrary to your myopic understanding of the topic... total exposure during a pandemic is actually not the way to manage it. 'the rest of society would be well protected' but instead we likely would have had a total collapse if everyone were to be infected at the same time by allowing the 'virus to 'run its course'.
