I believe the targeted delay is the real danger, as it will not reduce the number of infected people: we almost all need to get infected to gain immunity.
But delaying this spread will cause damage; there is no way we can get out of this without most of the people catching this flu.

Two more things here:
#1 Availability of a vaccination will change it. And it is likely that a vaccination will be availabel within 6-12 months.
#2 slowing down the infections does help to keep the health system running. Not only for Covid-19 patients, but also for all the victims of csancer, heart attac or some accident.

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
