"As long as the health care system is under capacity" is about a week or so at best, in much of the U.S., and not much longer (or already past) in many other places.

We want the epidemic to fizzle out by reducing R0 before the pressure to reopen the economy becomes so great that it begins to spread nationally again. The disease has already had a multitude of mutations. We really don't want to keep it circulating and coming back like the flu, especially if new strains overcome immunity.

Not being that guy in the ICU? I mean, seriously?
