_Permanently totally isolating everyone over 60_ is clearly not feasible.

More or less infeasible than throwing millions of people out of work and forbidding everyone from seeing their friends and families?

And it is not like under 60s are all that safe. In the US 25% of deaths are under 65.

85% of the US population is under 65. So 15% of the population has 75% of the deaths, meaning a randomly selected person over 65 is 17 times more likely to have died than a random person under 65.
