Morality aside, don't you think there is a practical problem with this idea? If there are tons of sick and dying people, people will be scared, and the economy would not run at full speed anyways.

You could say "there's no reason to be scared, you only have a 0.3% chance of dying if we let everyone catch it", but to a lot of people that's scary.

Don't get me wrong, I think your view is more valid than a lot of people give it credit for. Large parts of the US have low population density and low mass transit usage. It's just that the fear and danger is very real for people in densely populated areas like me.
