Lockdown is not a long term solution though. This virus isn't going to disappear anytime soon. It might be good for countries that are getting out of control, but for places where it isn't a problem yet it just delays when it his.

Places without a problem yet should take reasonable sustainable precautions to flatten the curve instead. (https://www.flattenthecurve.com/)

Lockdown is literally what flattens the curve. The slower the virus spreads, the flatter the curve gets.

The virus still spreads in lockdown, just at a slower pace. We will likely see resurgences when the lockdown(s) are lifted, but the idea is to plan to do that when we can handle it.
