It isn't.
But like O.City and others said (using the mighty power of 'hindsight', I guess) - people aren't going to just sit inside for months. It was never realistic. A complete lockdown of indefinite duration had the staying power of a fart in a hurricane.
Yes, people are going back out. They were ALWAYS going to go back out. Which was why a staggered and measured approach was always preferable in areas where it was feasible.
So, y'know, 80% of the country.
The heavy-handed and poorly-tailored response to this will create significant problems as we progress. And the public response will be less and less robust. And in the end, we'll be as bad or worse off for it and over a much longer timeline.
