This line of thoughts is quite puzzling to me. Domestic violence, drug uses are independent issues should be fixed by themselves.
In face of grave danger, there is always a balance to make, and usually their danger is so high that it usually has a overriding effect. This type of balance is not unique to covid, it literally happens everywhere all the time.
