Whislt that's wholly impractical and untrue, I can see this lockdown lasting longer than it should because of uninformed public outcry
Fully open in early June? LOL, that would invite a sharp second round of infections which the NHS, struggling at the best of times, would not be equipped to handle.

No one, unless they are genuinely uninformed or just not very knowledgable about these things, believes in a vaccine being available in short order. The informed view is that a virus, if one is developed and found to be successful, will not be widely available for between 12 to 18 months. Or the virus mutates, or no vaccine is properly developed. The only informed effective measure to stop the spread is quite literally to stop the spread.
