There is limited freedom during a lockdown, but a short sharp one can lead to almost complete normality soon after. Short and sharp or long and drawn out?

The drawn out option would seem a dubious freedom. My perspective is heavily skewed by being in NZ and reading US and UK news.

Yep. People seem to think that more lockdown = worse economy. NZ shows the relationship isn't so simple. A stricter lockdown seemed to work better from both a health perspective and an economic perspective.
