To the extent it causes a few healthy people to be infected, it's a benefit. Each incremental increase in people with immunity helps to push us toward herd immunity.
Conversely, keeping everyone at home indefinitely forces us into a position where we are held prisoner, waiting for a vaccine.

You write this as if everyone is now sheltering in place and we are curbing the spread of the virus, when in fact it is still spreading and numbers are still growing. It would be easier to stomach your posture of hard truth-telling if you were really grappling with the hard truths.
