Surely by being forced to do lockdowns later on we are paying dearly for letting them stay open.
I think we can also have more fine-grained policies. In Scotland they simply disallow serving of alcohol in restaurants and pubs, and restaurants have to close by 6PM. Unsurprisingly Scotland seems to be doing somewhat better than England and has avoided a second nationwide lockdown.
The basic idea is if we can target the 5% of the economy that is causing most of the spread, you can keep the other 95% open.
