We (Switzerland) recently had the most brutal increase in cases world
wide, what would be 400'000/day compared to USA (or even >1'200'000 in
strongly affected small parts) . We "slightly" tightened the rules of
interaction as all schools for people over 18 are again online only. But
all restaurants (not all bars,clubs only the one that can work with
reduced numbers of guests) are open also gyms etc.. Only sports with
close contacts are forbidden. People are asked to do home work as often
as possible.
Our Government today just said: We can live with it. We know that a
larger, than usual, fraction of old/very old people will die but that's
the price. 97.5% of the people that die are older than 65!
A shut-down is no help as you have to redo it every 2-3 month. We call
this the Yo-Yo effect.
The total ICU usage went up to 78% (only about 1/3 from CoV-19) and now
(at 77%) is stable.
You can bet that our economy will only get a small bump compared with
all others and people are treated as humans that need sport, a dine with
a friend etc..
But this is Switzerland others have to find their own rules!
As also some small places (counties) inside Switzerland did find their
own - stronger - rules, but not country wide.

Exactly, so if say the sucide rate goes up because of depression
brought on by lockdown, are they going to count that as death due to
covid as well?

The way covid is being managed is causing other health problems.
It is not as if we were all invincible superman until covid came
along.
