  As a vunerable person... yes please to an extent, Leaving people to live as normal if they arent vunerable will still cause levels of covid to rise, but i doubt it will be as fast as current, i've personally take to locking down myself, but it's not easy when you have no support and people laugh when you say you can't make appointments because you're vunerable, with a lockdown for the vunerable, people may actually listen

  Please check out the Great Barrington Declaration https://gbdeclaration.org
  
  It's a proposed plan by some of the world's top epidemiologists to do exactly this. A short period to shield the vulnerable, while the rest of us protect them by exposing our immune systems to the virus.

  And for just how long would you suggest imprisoning the vulnerable in their own homes? Many have already had months of lockdown and watched while others ignored all the rules which are in place to keep us all safe.
  
  What about those with health conditions who work and cant do so from home, do they just lose their job?
  
  Locking up one part of society is not a credible answer to any of this. Most people who are higher risk have been taking their own sensible precautions To avoid busy areas, hospitality etc, that is and should be their choice not an imposition to suit others.
