'Nope'
That Taiwan has 'less lockdown' doesn't respond to the fact that whatever the degree of 'lockdown' whenever it is removed, the contagion will grow again, and that any level of lockdown will have bad economic repercussions.
That Taiwan is getting away with 'less severe' lockdown is not relevant because:
a) They do have a really long list of measures (more than 120 published by their Gov.) that are unsustainable in the long run and
b) It's a selective example - most other nations need more aggressive.
c) Due to the fragility from 'a' and economic downturn around the world due to 'b' a deep recession is guaranteed in Taiwan.
The point remains: there is currently no rational answer to 'how to end the lockdown' while economies go down.
