It’s so obvious that cnn is losing the narrative on this. Public opinion is starting to push away from lockdowns and they are freaking out and trying to inspire panic.
At least they are admitting that strict quarantines will not stop the spread in its tracks; it will merely slow it. Whether you are Sweden or Denmark the same number of people will eventually be infected, barring a vaccine. The difference in in the rate, and there starts the debate about the advantage of one approach the other.

“Like Kelen said, until there's a vaccine, the same number of people will be infected no matter what if people stop staying home. Coronavirus cases will grow again.
It's just a matter of letting the disease "burn through society very quickly" over a few months or prolonging the time it takes coronavirus to spread, he said. The latter scenario buys some time for vaccine development and staggers the number of patients hospitals see so they won't be overburdened.”
