Implement a similar approach to Sweden
There is an expectation that there will be a "second wave" of COVID-19 when there is little to no evidence to support this. SARS dissapeared, and this virus is based on SARs. We also need to stop insisting there will be a vaccine, when there is no evidence of this. What we should do, is implement a similar approach to sweden: keep the vulnerable (those with pre-existing health codnitions, severely obese etc) indoors, and allow the rest of society to resume to build up immunity.
Why the contribution is important
We cannot keep the country shut-down forever. Even a "new normal" will create signfiicant mental health problems, and economic. Far more people will die as a result of a long economic shut down and as a result of suicides, depression and other mental illness. It should be an individual responsibility in the future as to how one should conduct themselves, with public campaigns advocating morality, but no forced incarceration

I think that we need to learn to live alongside this horrible virus. We are almost certainly going to have it amongst us for a very long time. There may not be a vaccine for years; there may never be a vaccine !
We must find ways of living with it; protecting our vulnerable people and enabling the rest of society to get back to work and some kind of new normal.
