By protecting the vulnerable in this way, there will be much less risk of those people much more susceptible to the worst effects of this virus actually catching it.

SOME will still die with the lockdown in place, however the death rate without a lockdown in place would be on who knows what exponential. (Whatever it is, it won't be as 'low' as it is now)
