If I understood it correctly, the risk of "exhaustion" was one of th drivers of the strategy here in Sweden. Apart from the fact that ordering a lockdown would have been impossible. Yes, the possibility was explored, but it was found to be without legal support.

There is much I don't agree with concerning our handling of Covid-19, far from all having to with the actual strategy, which I find questionable this far mostly based on the lack of any discernable scientific consensus regarding a strategy touted as scientifically sound.

I however do agree that considering an exhaustion/psychological adaption scenario, is something you have to do in a situation like this.

One strategy I've seen referred to as effective is essentially periodically altering the level of lockdown, but the high virulence in conjunction with the long latencies in the feedback looks seems to make it really hard to employ for Covid-19, as the necessary period still seems to be on the order of months.
