Yeah, sounds kind of cruel, but I tend to agree with you. In the long term that may be the best approach, but, like you said, we'll find out later what was the best approach.
It seems like we have put the "brakes on" so hard down here that we're actually getting no where useful, and possibly opening ourselves up for long term pain - no herd immunity and hanging out for a effective vaccine or treatment that may possibly never eventuate. Social impairment, market shutdown, financial collapse etc death by long term quarantine. COVID-19 looks to be around for a while.
