It's not one or the other, and remember that if we ruin the economy by having a hugely extended period of lockdown, more people will lose their jobs as businesses fold and many will be plunged into poverty, which itself causes deaths. It is a matter of judgement as to how and when the current restrictions are eased, and you must remember that we are not going to stop the virus spreading to about 80% of the population. All we are doing is slowing it down so the NHS can cope.

This is not a time for party politics. We all have to pull together on this until the crisis is over. Obviously, any failings need to be put right straight away, but the time to scrape over the things that went wrong are for later. In the meantime, the vast majority of people are pleased with the way the government has dealt with this.
