You open the economy up and allow those who are young and healthy to work. They get COVID19, get over it, acquire immunity and the virus dies out. Then, you open things back up to the elderly and high-risk now that the virus is gone.

The problem is, there are TONS of elderly and high-risk people who also live with those who are young and healthy. There's no way to separate the young and healthy from the elderly and high-risk. The "theory" is complete garbage.
