Basically it says "go hard" for a short period (say longer than people getting infected then recovering)
Once you add recovered people in the mix that also slows the transmission rate.
It's all about slowing the transmission rate.
For MLs ... a controversial thing to say ... but ... the sooner they are "recovered" and confirmed negative the better.
Although it's known that patients can confirm as negative but the virus is still present in there faeces.
Most of us will still get this virus. It's just slowing the contagion so that the medical infrastructure can provide the care needed without some missing out.
Except as far as I know, there is no data to suggest that once you have the virus and recover, you are immune. Nothing to stop people from getting it a second time. The only way to completely get rid of it is to keep people in isolation until there are zero cases remaining, otherwise we could end up back at square one. The biggest hope at the moment is for a cure or vaccine.

I doubt the Government would pump out nearly $200 billion in stimulus if it was only a matter of locking down the country for 2 weeks.
