We are not going to stay home and stay publicly apart for more than a year while waiting for a vaccine (even early 2021 is thought to be optimistic). We could have aggressively locked down and quarantined anyone with symptoms in February, like other nations successfully did. Once we failed to do that, by March it was too late.

When the NFL and college football starts up, the people are going to collectively go "ok damn it, enough of this, let us assume the risk", and not want to listen to arguments about how they would therefore be infecting people at home or the store who didn't want to take the risk.
