People will accept some level of risk. Let people choose their own level of risk.

That’s where your whole argument falls apart. Any time a person increases his risk of getting the virus, he increases the risk of others getting the virus. So he’s choosing others’ risk for them.
As to your Venn diagram, yes, there would be a lot of contacts involved. There would be a lot of quarantining. The ideal time to have done it would’ve been March or even February when there were a lot fewer cases. That didn’t happen at the time because our president thought it would go away “like a miracle.” It is very late in the game to start. But it’s better than not starting at all.
