Well I guess that changes everything.
I don't think that's their plan at all because I don't think anybody expects that to happen. Ultimately I think you're working from a seriously faulty premise in trying to analyze their approach. At least I hope you are because if THEY are working from that premise, I think we're proper ****ed.

If the R0 is less than 1, the virus dies out. That's the entire point behind all of the distancing measures--give the hospitals time to cope with the influx of the already infected, and break the spread to the point where the virus isn't spreading fast enough to propagate. From there, implement stricter controls as you open society back up to keep any other flareups limited and the R0 as low as possible.
