The problem is that there is no allinclusive solution at present. If you're vulnerable there's a serious chance you'll die of it; no treatment and no cure. The current most serious intevention (ventilation) often leaves people with more long term issues than they started with.
The only 'correct' answer is a complete lock down for enough weeks to remove the virus from the UK which is impossible given the level of spreed that the UK had. The current plans are the least worse that allow some return of society, this dosent mean the vulnerable have to stay at home however they have to accept that there's risks. You have to remember that it's only fairly recently that society decided it wasnt acceptable that disabled people were unable to travel where they want to (i.e. it actually admitted there was a problem and started doing something about it, it's still nowhere near cured of course).
Because some are more vulnerable then sadly they ARE going to have to follow different rules both for their good and the greater good of the economics and general health of the nation.
If we say we cannot go to normal because some vulnerable folk may be adversely affected is bonkers and will cause massive damage to wider society. Of course the Government could 'advise' the vulnerable to stay locked down with no compulsion...……...
