  Tell those at greater risk to take special precautions to protect themselves, but tell the rest of Society to go back to living their lives as they see fit for their own circumstances.

  It's real. Approx 500-600 die per day with (not necessarily "from") CV19

  In comparison, 1600 die each day from cancer and even more die each day from heart disease.

  The US State with the highest daily death count is Florida. Why? This disease is hell for old people. They should take special precautions. OTOH, our 30-something yo son and his GF both had mild symptoms and tested positive and were moderately sick for 3 days, and back to work in less than 2 weeks. People like them need to stop living their lives in fear and just start living their lives again like normal people.

  Since the Covid virus can be deadly as its shown to be I would address the situation as needed, balancing out what is needed to be done in protecting the population.

  It would seem the medical community has learned how to keep people alive with a greater recovery rate, so that too would have to be realized and put into the decisions regarding public restrictions.

  Well, what I would not do is put the stock market first, argue over masks, put Jarod in charge of PPE, give trillions of dollars away mostly to businesses to never "trickle" down to the workers.
  
  At this point, we could get a round of complete quick results tests for every-fricking-body. We can isolate the positives and let the rest get to some kind of normal and then do the hot-spot thing for awhile or test every-fricking-body again if it wasn't contained.

  It can’t be contained - ever. It is a highly contagious virus, that will evolve. To get zero COVID means destroying civilization utterly.

  Cease all restrictions and tell people to act according to their own risk assessment. Give them good information:
