To go “all out heavy” and nothing come of it you can quickly open everything back up and minimise impact. Underplay it and it could take months to get back under control.
If you clamp down too quickly, too many people haven't acquired any immunity, and so when you ease off, further outbreaks occur. As is shown in China and in South Korea. It only takes one or two people to create hundreds or even thousands of cases before anybody notices.
