The lockdown is justified by certain measurable factors, such as hospitalization rates, the risk of death, and the risk of major complications, and as we vaccinate the population, these factors will decrease.

It makes sense to ask when Covid crosses the line from a risk that justifies lockdown to a risk that does not.
