The whole point of it all was to slow the spread of the disease, protect society's most vulnerable members (the older/sicker people), and especially, keep the healthcare system from collapsing due to too many people getting sick all at once.
If a pandemic like this happens again, we should probably take a different approach, and put the old people into protected communities, separate from others and with measures to keep infection out (outsiders have to wear biohazard suits when entering the protected area). Or perhaps put the kids into their own boarding schools separate from others.
