Thing is we can hide them away but then they say we will all get it anyway. So it's very difficult.

Yes, but the idea is that this way it can be delayed in such a way that the healthcare system is able to give them the best care possible and also at a time (ie summer) when the effects of the virus won't be complicated by the presence of other respiratory illnesses.
