Yes. It makes sense, especially now that we have pretty well proven treatments with Remdesivir and some other drugs for the old who do get a bad reaction.

Basically, the goal of shutting down was to flatten the curve and give us more time to get ready. It also means MORE people overall would get infected but we'd hopefully have the means to treat them. That too was accomplished.

I also believe masking works in a big part because it reduces the viral load your mouth and nose "vacuum up" when near a masked infected person by between 90 and 99% in the absence of masks. Thus, mask wearers get a tiny dose that their immune systems can more easily handle then develop better immunity for the next time they get a larger dose. That is the small doses filtered via masks act as vaccine for most fairly healthy people.

If the F'ers in government could have worked together, this simple explanation could have been presented to everyone by a unified government much as we unify to fight wars with other countries. But.... those in office failed and not a single one deserves a vote in their next election.

They ALL picked politics over helping the people they were charged to protect. I can't blame Trump for not being "good at politics" but he was elected for being an effective leader. He failed at that... putting Pence in charge, a GOP member no moderate in their right mind will vote for, rather than asking Obama to forgive him for the name calling and step up to run the COVID-19 response.
