Because much longer than that and the economic devastation will outweigh the loss of life. There is a line, and several indicators show that date to be about where the line resides.
At that point - far more people will die or have their lives destroyed, such as permanent homelessness, drug addiction, suicide, malnourishment, starvation, and such from the economic destruction than the virus itself.
I believe some indicators show a loss of life from the shutdown of the economy to exceed 1MM if we keep it shutdown longer than that.

I had June in my head when I looked in this thread. At some point these "any life is work sacrificing America for" people screaming will get drowned out as some states start to peak and fall and well start heading back towards normalish - or at least the new normalish.
People need to get a grip - there is a LOT of room between ignoring it and doing nothing and climbing in a bomb shelter for a year.
