Say 1000. If you lift all the restrictions you are right back where you were, so you then have to extend all the restrictions.
The thinking is that you slow the spread long enough so that medical services and supplies keep up. Also, it's not likely that people who have it are going to recatch it any time soon.
Weather plays a role here too. Just like the flu typically subsides in warmer months, covid likely will too.
So you spread out the growth rate so services can keep up, let people build up natural immunities and let mother nature take its course.
It's unlikely that if this goes on until May there will be many cases.
