My thoughts are that while (temporary) lockdowns are sensible in large population centres whilst we focus on bolstering health services (mostly equipment), it makes little sense to confine unsymptomatic people to their homes in areas with low population density, including the elderly. The logic behind stopping a 75 year old going for a stroll down a country walking path with their poodles and chatting with people, so long as they keep a reasonable distance, is just ... zero.
