If it started approaching 10% we would have had to do a true hard lockdown, National Guard in the Streets, rations distributed to people hard locking down, and it would have had to last for months until the virus burned itself out.
The problem is they scared people so much early on (again, the right thing to do) that they have boxed themselves in, in their own minds, to just telling people if you are under 50 go out and live your life, stay isolated from your older relatives, and get things going back to normal.
For statist and authoritarian types its easy to drop the hammer, much harder to pick it back up and put it away.
