Getting Re below 1 seems like the right approach, but I really hope that we can do this through extensive testing and travel restrictions. This way anyone who gets any illness and can be tested immediately, tell their friends to get tested, and isolate themselves. Meanwhile the rest of society can function more or less normally, even if they have to watch sports on TV instead of live, and after a sick individuals recover they can be retested and rejoin society again. This seems so much better to me having everyone spend 18 months in moderate isolation until a vaccine is approved.
At least summer is coming and it's substantially safer to be with people outside.
