20-30 year olds
Ease lockdown restrictions on 20-30 year olds first. Allow them to have social interaction before other age groups
Why the contribution is important
20-30 year olds are the most likely age group to rely on friends and social situations to aid personal development and prevent problems with mental health. Many in this age group live alone, and many are struggling more than other age groups at the prospect of no social interaction. In addition, they are the least likely age group to transmit the disease to others, and are the healthiest age group to be able to fight the virus.
With social distancing still in place if necessary, this age group should be allowed to interact with friends before others.

Unfortunately, the fact that most in this group might escape serious illness, doesn't mean they would not spread the virus.

No, that is not clinically proven, and so it is an unsafe basis for decision making.
It would be very dangerous to have a highly socially interactive part of the population, many of whom live at home still, roaming free under the false belief that they are not able to transmit the virus, and so are free of all the restrictions currently in place. Nothing would undo the gains made more quickly than that.
