There definitely should be some level of reopening and I have advocated for it here. That does not mean that everyone should go back to the September 10 attitudes.
Exactly.
That's why things like פרוזבול and בעל חוב בבינונית were done שלא תנעול דלת בפני לווין.
If you go to the most extreme measures, it will end up backfiring. Keeping extreme restrictions in place, when it doesn't seem to make any sense to the masses, will backfire in a way that all restrictions will be ignored. Allowing sensible reopening, shul crowd control (someone mentioned fire regulations - use a similar measure and put a "COVID-19 Marshal" in charge), making hand sanitizers, tissues, papertowels and even face shields readily available, will go much further than across the board bans!
