> The exit strategy should be to enough of a lock-down to get rates very low
But if you get the infection rates very low, and reopen, the infection rates will go up, unless something fundamental has changed.

Different countries have done different things, but my understanding is that South Korea avoided a lock down for the most part by implementing this before cases were widespread. They occasionally add some temporary restrictions, but I think "sometimes we have to add some restrictions until there's a vaccine" is a livable long-term situation. What we're seeing in the US is that for a lot of people, our current situation isn't.
