Of course, ultimately, it will come down to the law of diminishing returns.
Some polly, at some stage, will need to draw a line in the sand and say, we're opening up society again and we'll deal with those "preventable" deaths in a manageable way without overloading the health system. No one will come out and take responsibility for the "collateral damage". It'll just be a price society will want to pay. (self preservation of the status quo)
No winners here, just varying degrees of loss.
And you know what, I can see it already. The second wave comes and takes out some rednecks, who in turn protest further against loosening restrictions too early.
It's a true kobayashi maru.
Dunno about over there in kangaroo land, but we are lifting restrictions, slowly. Masks and social distancing still online, so are festivals, and other mass gatherings cancelled. Perhaps its the best to slowly regain the economy while keeping safe measures.
I have been working normally, food stuff, masks already required. Meh. By my temper, C19 would quarantine itself from me.
