I think that's how a lot of people viewed the original march lockdown
I agree that it’s how a lot of people viewed it, and I’m as bummed as anyone that it didn’t fully work. I think part of the problem was the Govts foolish initial response and inadequate guidance to the public, so we had a lot of people harping on that it was just another flu and going about their lives aggressively disobeying the rules. Now that we’re nearing 100,000 deaths, there’s fewer people who think that way, and more people who are just tired of living restricted lives.
If anyone here is into cycling, I guess it’s like a velodrome race strategy: should we make a push trying to score big points but risk burning out, or should we draft in a constant #2 position and hope our total points add up in the end? I think we’ve still got the legs for one more push, but probably not another one later, so should we try it?

I think that's how a lot of people viewed the original march lockdown - one big sacrifice to break the back of this thing. unfortunately, it was clear to even the most simple minded (including me) that even at that point there was going to have to be a series of phased lockdowns... did the government roll the pitch for people's acceptance of this by communicating this was likely ? I think we all know the answer
