But they aren't. (See, also, Germany). They're mostly open and normal, except where they have to, sometimes only locally, lock down again for a bit to control community transmission again.
There are examples all over the world - including China - where things are mostly reopened with precautions, because they locked down enough to control community spread and then tested, traced and isolated.
We didn't, so we're still in uncontrolled community spread. Too many people have it and are spreading for us to be able to contact trace and isolate. We are a failure.
