The British started going down this road, but wisely chose to back
off after they had thought it through.  Why?  Because the end result
would be the entire country shutting down, for an indefinite period
of time.  Of which it might never recover.

OTOH, think about the fact that as a species humans carry four
different coronaviruses, none of which we have a vaccine for.  The
novel coronavirus that has emerged may become a fifth.

While this is not an extinction level event, many untold millions
of people may die.  Perhaps even billions.  Call it a culling of the
herd, if you like.  And perhaps that is nature's way of dealing with
the problem of climate change, or whatever else ails the planet.

If a real crisis develops, will the Germans call for a new f–hrer?
Will the Mafia return to its former days of glory and rule Italy?
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
