The difficult task is how to RESUME an economy without Covid coming back.
How long can an economy sustain without long term damages and suffering (business all winding down... no jobs)?
Lockdown is just the easy way out... as a way of saying "Look, we are fucking doing something". Without other long term plans in place, Covid has shown throughout the world that they'd come back with fury like the case in BC.
It's like giving morphine to a patient in pain... the morphine gives an instant ease on the pain (infection rate)... but if the patient isn't treated, he/she's done.
