Half measures seem to have worked here in Madrid during the second wave.

There is a general curfew at midnight and health districts of the metropolitan area have been selectively locked down, but everything else has remained open: restaurants, gyms, non-essential businesses, etc.

Cases per 100k are not low but they have been declining for weeks now, with most of the city largely open for business.

I suppose this depends on how ‘worked’ is defined. If one is after a flattened curve it has worked well. In terms of elimination, it hasn’t got there.
