This reminds me of the Bayesian thought experiment of "how many people do you have to mildly inconvenience to be equivalent to one murder?"
I don't understand the logic of putting fully vaccinated, mask-wearing people into house arrest. I suspect deaths of despair will offset the breakthrough covid deaths.

The reduction in movement also makes it possible to enforce laws on those who wouldn’t otherwise comply willingly.
