Harsh lockdowns will go away.

 lockdowns are justified at first

as a preventative,

cautious measure.

If a half-decent vaccine is never found

or not found within a year or two

a fairly horrible decision

will have to be made to just

"live with the virus."

But as treatments improve,

and a "half decent" vaccine

is probably introduced

from early next year,

the rationale for further

harsh lockdowns

will go away.
