Political leaders' shifting explanation/timeline for the lockdown is unsustainable. People were given a defined goal in a limited window. They responded with admirable compliance. But now the communication from officials has frayed and goals blurred. Impatience will skyrocket.
This is one reason why: there are very real health tradeoffs and policymakers need to explain them
The health tradeoffs are real and significant and any discussion on the pace of reopening that only notes one side of those is white noise.
