I'm surprised at how little effect even a strict lockdown (western style - Wuhan style was much more effective) had compared with the Swedish approach. I did not expect cases to rise so slowly and even plateau with the policy that Sweden chose, and I did not expect cases and deaths to decrease so slowly with the policies that Spain, France, Belgium and Italy chose.
I now suspect that ending lockdowns, temporarily banning just a couple of high risk activities such as conferences and clubbing, universal mask wearing, and extra protection in hospitals and long term care homes might be enough, at least until October (in the Northern hemisphere).
