Wouldn’t you need fewer and less extreme lockdowns every couple of months if you aren’t opening everything up every couple of months?

Yeah, you’d only need one strict lockdown if you’re not opening up everything every couple of months. It just never ends.

Is this a joke?

Well, no, that’s exactly what I’m saying would not be the case. The longer lockdown would not need to be anywhere near as strict as the lockdown that comes after a month of opening everything back up.

Wow, so now instead of the ‘three weeks strict lockdown to stop the spread’ fantasy we now have this ‘lockdown light’ idea. Where did this theory come from?
