"This Japanese Island Lifted Its Coronavirus Lockdown Too Soon and Became a Warning to the World" https://time.com/5826918/hokkaido-coronavirus-lockdown/
Restrictions could start easing if you could manage an outbreak swiftly. This requires:
1) Enough tests that actually worked so you can SPOT an outbreak before it goes 3 weeks.
2) Enough resources in the medical system to handle an actual spike without collapsing
3) Enough protective equipment that won't disappear in the face of panic buying
This is the MINIMUM. Are we there yet?
Otherwise, you get Hokkaido.
