The government's policy is to slow the deaths down so the NHS will not be overwhelmed. The only way to deal with this is to let the vaccine travel its course more slowly or lockdown until a vaccine is mass produced, distributed and applied.

Pushing deaths the other side of the vaccine results in fewer deaths overall.

Clearly, it cannot be the latter or we will no longer have an economy.

Neither will we have an economy if we let thousands of people die and don't deal with the virus.
Once again, you are stressing over flights. Where will people fly to? What self-respecting country that is trying to eradicate the virus is going to let people in from the UK which has the second most deaths in the world? Who is going to want to come here?
If there's a second wave who is liable for the cancellations? Insurance companies simply won't touch it.
Paul is right here - the public perception is that many common activities are fundamentally dangerous and there's no real reason to expect that the public (consumers) will return to normal activity any time soon.
The problem isn't the lockdown - it's reduced demand. That's just straightforward capitalism.
