IIRC this was one of the reasons for the delayed lockdown

The initial models included a behavioural science aspect that other models don't have. Basically, the answer is to lock down until the vaccine arrives but the psychological assessment was that people would not abide by that, so the lockdown timing was adjusted to consider this.

While we rightly look at the physiological aspects of covid, there will most definitely be very significant mental health issues - long term stress / depression /loneliness / etc :-/
