Testing is insufficient. There is no herd immunity to this and that is what they are building. With a disease this virulent, without herd immunity, it will just spread like wildfire again as soon as you loosen up restrictions. There's two paths to herd immunity: vaccine and everyone gets it. Vaccine is probably a year off and not guaranteed. Until then they will be going forward with a hopefully manageable rolling # of infected until herd immunity is built. We're at what, 14k have been infected so far? We're nowhere close to the end. In my opinion, until you start seeing herd immunity scale of people who have been infected and recovered, or a vaccine, we will see pretty stark differences in our lifestyles.
Also consider the asymmetric knowledge here. The people in power surely know things they aren't telling you. Destroying the economy is not in their best interest. How bad must it have to be for them to be willing to destroy the global economy and potentially their own fortunes and power structures?
