The thing with this is that without an actual cure we still don't know if this is a long term solution.
China's cases have slowed and are starting to decline, but it will take a long time before it reaches zero.
And the second you start to reduce the social distancing measures the risk becomes that we you just end up right back at square one.
This is the risk for sports and large events. You can close down for 30 days, but all it takes is a couple people at a large event in June/July to not realize they've contracted it, and then you're right back where you are right now.
