The COVID-19 pandemic

Yes, we aren't done yet, this is why we should lock down again now that we are seeing surging case numbers. But the end is in sight.

If you want to save as many lives as possible than we must have a lockdown now, and we must continue to lock down every time cases increase until we have a vaccine broadly available mid next year.

I agree with this absolutely. I dont consider this lockdown at all, but I dont think our lockdown before was strict enough either. 
 
I think the most effective option is total lockdown, till there is no community transmission, like some countries have done. Continue with that method during a resurgence of infections, until there is viable and consistent treatment
