      A consensus seems to be emerging that many more infections happen indoors than out. So I could imagine a transition from quarantine in which people leave the buildings they live in, but avoid going into other ones.

      Sounds like how things have been here Sweden all along. People are walking around everywhere, even people of 70+ years of age but they avoid shopping or entering the homes of others. The main advise here has been: If you have the slightest symptoms, stay away from others / home.

      That is very interesting. If so, the story in the press about Sweden rushing toward herd immunity may be all wrong. In effect you may have most of the value of lockdown.

          Swedish narrative has vastly oversold policy and undersold citizen action.

          I believe so. FHM has been aiming for effective actions that can last for a long while. Some say individuals have been given too much responsibility. Herd immunity has never been the goal and Anders Tegnell of FHM clarifies this in The Daily Show here:https://youtu.be/ypwoyVl5Dxk

          Symptoms shouldn't really be part of this discussion. Around half of infections are from people without symptoms. Decreasing R_e should be the focus, to decrease the 1-1/R_e threshold, and also to minimize deaths before vaccination (of there is one)

          Curiously, Giesecke ( hired Swedish head Tegnell) explains that the Original UK/Swedish strategy was to protect the vulnerable - but that herd immunity was a side effect. Ethically completely different than driving to immunityhttps://youtu.be/bfN2JWifLCY
