In all my readings about the Great Depression (with analogous unemployment rates and a decade of destitution), I dont recall the solution offered was sacrifice grandma.
There are advances every day by scientists, etc. California just announced, for example, a serology test which will show who is immune (assuming immunity actually is conferred).
This post is an example of what I understand the situation to be. Hoping to hid grandma away long enough for science to find a "cure" (whatever that might look like) is not going to happen. The virus isn't just going to go away. Any "cure" is at least a year away. No matter how unfair those are the facts. The Depression is a poor example because you could skip a meal and give it to grandma, there were food lines, etc. This is totally out of our control for the foreseeable future.
