Hawk, I get your point but I think you're being too black and white about it. The growth of things like viruses is not my field of mathematics, but saying that exponential growth is in principle uncontrollable is not true. How bad it is in case of the virus I don't know; I've barely looked at the statistics to avoid depression. But my main point is, keeping absolutely everyone inside would cause as much, or more, risk. What about doctors, nurses firefighters, etc? There is more work which is absolutely necessary than you might realise. That doesn't mean the governments haven't done a very bad job at handling the virus though
