What's your idea of a relatively small number then Roger. If all current measures are abandoned and the disease is allowed to let rip all scientific evidence points to a massive outbreak which will kill people of all generations, not just the old, and have a massive effect on the economy.
We might have "protected our NHS" but a further surge in cases could easily overwhelm it incidentally killing even more of its staff. You don't seem to believe in morality but are you happy with that?
Of course we must somehow return to a way of life that allows our economy to function but just abandoning all controls would be stupid in the extreme.
