It seems that there are several options:
1. Wait until a vaccine is found and deployed (seems unrealistic that the country can continue like this for another year or so).
2. When the rate of cases and deaths slow down drastically, open back up with the realization that there will still be new cases and deaths going forward, and shutting down any school/business etc. that have a new case or death is not going to be plausible, but instead just quarantine the individuals with new cases.
3. When the rate of cases and deaths slow down drastically, require testing of all employees currently working or who are going to go back to work. (don't know how realistic this one is, especially with the U.S. currently lacking in the required number of test kits.)
It seems that option 2 is the most realistic, but I don't know if the federal/state governments, as well as the administrators of the school's, and owner's of businesses have the guts to take on the kind of responsibility/blame that the media will lay at their feet for any subsequent deaths.
Anyone have any other possible outcomes?
