Lockdown can't persist until a validated treatment or vaccine. I take COVID very seriously, and I don't think it's reasonable to pursue herd immunity. But we need to start seeing some solid proposals for the next phase of the war.

GTFO unless you're looking at cohorts

Cohort, not demographic. If in fact you're dealing with exponential growth, the bulk of your cases should be expected to be newer. Nobody is dying of this during the incubation period. Nobody is dying of this during the first week or so of relatively mild symptoms.

If you have a massive % of the population exposed, incubated + asymptomatic, you can expect the duration of the crisis to be shorter, but the severity to be no less acute. But there's no solid evidence that that's the case.

Even countries like Iceland that have taken to mass testing warn that a case that tests positive without symptoms may or may not present with symptoms later on. Unless you know the date of exposure, it's anyone's guess whether you're a "true" asymptomatic case or still incubating

Consider this: average 1 week of incubation, up to 2 weeks; 1 week or so mild symptoms, 2 weeks severe symptoms. So if x% test positive asymptomatic, should we assume a quarter of those are still in the incubation period?

No. It's going to be much higher than that, assuming exponential growth. Why? Same issue as before. You can expect that roughly half of your extant cases were contracted in the last week. Eventually lockdowns stretch that timespan.
