These are really two independent issues. The justification for current lockdowns is nominally 'flattening the curve' because we were ill-prepared to handle a flood of serious cases. We can hope that, in another nine months, many of the specific shortages will have been addressed.

One issue that I would like to have seen mentioned here is whether Sweden's resources for treating the very sick have the capacity to handle an increasing rate of infection, if claims that it is over the hump turn out to be premature.
