This is largely what Sweden has been doing. They've succeeded in that they've kept a healthy margin of hospital/ICU beds free, but people are unhappy with the overall number of deaths. They've also largely failed at keeping the spread out of nursing homes (they have a similar 50% deaths-from-nursing-homes ratio to other countries).
