Call me crazy (I apologize in advance, this is probably going to be long) but here is what I think maybe the end game:

The government knows that the Health Care system could not handle the total load if we went for the "herd immunity".

With a very large percentage of the work force sick there would be a hiccup in the economy anyways. Places would shut down due to lack of workers anyway.

If a majority of folks are sick, out of work due to illness, seeing the over the top drama reports of deaths and a failure of health care. Combined with Triage style Health Care would be demoralizing to a large percentage of the population.

I think this incremental movement of the Release from Home Shelter is a psychological move on the part of government. Less likely to cause a large percentage of the group to become demoralized and loose faith in the economy and the whole system in our country.

Just as the value of money is "faith based", i.e. a particular country's currency is either desirable or not being based wholly on faith. Money is not backed by anything substantial or tangible.

The overall game I think is to get over the initial attack, we go back to work, another wave (less substantial) hits, we as a society grit our teeth and push on through, continuing to work, healthcare has a smaller group to deal with in the second attack and does not crash.

Then a third wave of illness happens 6-8 months after the first attack. We are less sensitive to emotionally and continue to push through to keep the economy going. Since the subsequent attacks are not having such a perceived large number of deaths, moral stays bouyed, resolve to see it throught is maintained.

Faith may wane, but is not lost. Faith in our system, faith in our health care, faith in the economy never falls so low that a Depression happens. While the economy was bad during the Crash, it was the populaces loss of faith in the market and banking system that caused a panic and loss of Faith. This I feel is what really caused the Depression my parents grew up in. I wish I had listened to my Grandparents more when they were alive.

Maintain the faith, that was the one tool I used the most with my troops when I was in the service. We could do just about anything and survive extreme hardships since we had faith in each other.

I agree with letting the children live and would ask that of the old that live, that they be ones of Wisdom and True Knowledge. This way the following generations stand a good chance of being good, down to earth people, with a Real Education. Not the indoctrination we have now.
