Exactly! I think we can all disagree about preferences and risk-tolerance and that's fine. Society is about learning to live with compromise. But what I don't like is how nobody will pre-commit ahead of time about what the acceptable tradeoffs are.
What are the targets? How long do we expect restrictions to stay in place for? If we miss those targets, where do we go from there? Can we just all be clear about this up front, pre-commit and stick to the plan. I'm not even saying that unexpected conditions may necessitate calling an audible. But the burden should be on those who are asking for it to explain why they screwed up.
Right now it just feels like policymakers are making it up as they along, and virtually nobody feels like its leadership in any sense of the word.

If people get scared they are increasing restri tions. If people get annoyed the loosen restrictions. All they are focused on are the next elections
