It would be ideal if everyone would just cooperate together and stay home, avoid large gatherings, only go out when necessary and wear masks when they do so, etc. But sadly, I don't think we're ever going to get everyone to do so. So many people are disobeying the current restrictions that they have become essentially useless. So that's why at this point I think it would be best to quarantine the sick and most vulnerable (elderly and people with very severe underlying conditions), and let everyone else return to normal life, with the exception of very massive gatherings, like packed stadiums and conventions (those would have to wait until we have a vaccine or treatment drug). Some people would say that the people going out would spread it to the more vulnerable, but the whole point of protecting/isolating the vulnerable would be to keep them away from the people who could potentially spread it to them, thereby eliminating that risk. And I'm well aware of the asymptomatic cases, don't get me wrong, but I still don't think that justifies quarantining/restricting everybody. Again, the approach is not perfectly ideal, but I really think it would be the best solution at this point given how things have been going.

All that being said, people should still wear a mask out in public. I wear one whenever I go out. And hopefully when this is all over (or even before), the government will implement a good backup financial stimulus/support system that we can fall back onto if this ever happens again (if this had already implemented this, maybe people would have been more willing to obey the lockdowns/restrictions). And please, let's vote Trump out of office in November.
