We are only kicking the can further down the road with this Lockdown.
People without risk factors for serious complications must be allowed to go on with their lives, which can be done while protecting those at risk. Income earners must be allowed to provide for their families. The economy must continue to function. Population immunity must be allowed to develop because that is precisely what will bring this epidemic to an end at the least cost both in terms of money and lives.

There is a challenge in this. Most of the income earners from our poorer communities are taking care of those who are at higher risk and often sharing a very confined living space.

It may sound harsh but some must ultimately die so the majority can live.
This is what it ultimately boils down to. It's sad but the most utilitarian approach.

@TME. So I'm guessing you would class yourself in the category of the majority who should live and would snuggly hole yourself up in your ivory tower while you watch the world's needy and poor die.
Your comment is cruelly false and it shows me that people like you are what's wrong with the world. You selfishly cling to your own self-righteousness and in arrogance you assert your own beliefs, so easily condemning others to die and foolishly assuming that you constitute the percentage of the earth's population who must live.
But fear not my dear fellow, for if you think that Covid-19 is a global catastrophe, hold onto your selfish butt cheeks! Global warming will be the final blow to us all and when that sh*t hits the proverbial fan, let's see who amongst us can so selfishly claim to be the one's who must live.
You, the wicked and selfish of this world, who lack compassion for the poor, you will perish in your ivory towers and no force on earth will be there to save you.
Jackass..
