Should we resort to old time illness habits?

Asked by Patty_Melt (17513points) March 14th, 2020

Before immunizations, when a kid got measles or mumps, women took their kids to be exposed, so everyone would have it at once, and be done with it.
Are we better off with quarantines, or should we encourage healthy, strong young adults to get it and have that out of the way?
I thought of this question when a doctor on the news pointed out we will always have covid-19 out there, that the initial wave is the big one, but it won’t be gone.
Are we just holding back the inevitable?
