The argument against a few weeks of lockdown has seemed sillier and sillier. The situation's very bad, and it's worth spending serious effort to mitigate for the foreseeable future.

A ban on all social activity for years is far beyond "serious effort to mitigate". Millions of lives isn't worth a global dystopia.

Years of lockdown really would be draconian and I think we could start to compare it to the value of human lives. I think we need much more focus on how and when the isolation ends.
