I'm not suggesting forcing the at risk people to stay home and not got out to by essentials. The special grocery store hours that you seemed to have an issue with can keep going. But also if everyone else is back at work and everyone is feeling more relaxed about things getting back to normal, people aren't going to be packed into grocery stores panic buying items, so staying away from people in the stores during regular hours shouldn't be as much of a problem.
Asymptomatic people can possibly spread it, and everyone should be staying away from the high risk people or wearing masks around them, whether they're on lockdown now or not just in case. What's being seen now since we've been on PAUSE for almost a week, is older adults getting sick from the younger healthy members of their family who've they've been cooped up with. These younger people who are asymptomatic or only had mild symptoms, who were previously at work and going out all the time and had little contact with the grandma or grandpa other than to say "hi" as they ran out the door are now spending all kinds of time with them and getting them sick.
South Korea hasn't done the whole extended lockdown for everyone and they seem to be doing well so are several other Asian countries (I'm not talking about China, since I know they had a lockdown), granted our culture is different than that of South Korea and the way they dealt with things from the start was a bit different since they had experience with epidemics like this previously. They also don't seem to be having an issue with reinfection.
