Well, you don't. That's just it. We never did before during the other 30-something pandemics over the last 100 years. Not really. Not even close. We hedged our bets. Wash your hands, wear a face mask if you want, maybe wear one in XYZ situations as required. Close the public pools if it's transmitted efficiently that way, but don't close the schools unless that in and of itself is a major vector. Has there been any data at all that restaurants are a major vector for COVID-19? Not that I've seen.
We are all going to be exposed to this. They are saying 18 months before we have a vaccine. That's insane. We can't go that long just doing rolling shutdowns of society.
It's kinda this really:
