It's bad either way - keeping the lockdown in place for too long or relaxing it too early.

The goal is to find the right balance - the least worst option.

Sure, okay, but I think it's pretty darn clear that we're far away from needing to consider that.

When the number of new cases starts going down we can begin having this conversation.

Why would we wait to begin having the conversation?

Because if you start talking about it too early then people will change their behaviour too early.

Because we don't have enough information yet. We still don't really know how deadly this virus is, or how it spreads or mutates.
