Quarantine the vulnerable.

Literally thousands are working NOW, many more can do their work similarly. At folks lodge, level 4 care and hospital, staff take temp at start of shift and half way through. Masks when at work. It's NOT only immune people working and these are the numbers. We are NOT children, if you eat you are ALL risking expose outside of the family, act properly.
IMO this will never go away, vaccine who knows, no "WHO" does not know. Sars has NO vaccine yet. HIV none. Regular seasonal flu still kills. THE COLD is a "corona" virus, NO vaccine.

But now we have social distancing which is minimizing the risk. The discussion is how to manage care if there were no social distancing requirements in the general population. What is working now may not necessarily work without controls. That is the discussion.

"The bill for this would be mind-blowing."

The current bills racked up will explode our minds for years!

You make a good point Fj.....I too think there may not be a "Silver Bullet" vaccine developed but anything to reduce the amount and severity of symptoms will be welcome to mitigate some of the risk of contracting Covid-19.

If I can make a comment without sounding like a wingnut;

In jurisdictions with low levels of virus discovery there has to be a relaxation of restrictions so as to put a manageable level of stress(sickness) on the population. There is no vaccine.
Will herd immunity work for Covid-19? Have to find out.
Also, to let everyone become aware of what it is going to take to keep healthy and still get work done. It can be done.
Once the extent of the virus spread is evident and you know where to look for it, how to contain it and have the means to care for those who fall ill, it is time to relax restrictions.
People will get sick, zero cases is not being realistic.

The trouble is many only hear what they want to hear.Many hear opening up again. already you see people in Wallmart hugging and visiting with friends like they made it to the finish line.the vulnerable may be in more jeopardy now than a week ago if people are careless when stage 1 comes into effect.

There is a whole lot of people that won't spread covid around very much.....

Meat plants here went in front foot from day one before social distancing was the norm they practiced it.

Workers read the riot act.

Testing in and out, no talking in car park.

Production slowed a little from day one.

Forklifting lifts etc on driver only same guy each day touches steering wheel.

Seems to have worked.

Told to distance at home as well, come to work in individual vehicles etc

I wish we heard from actual people that had it, and how mild were those 97% of cases in the world 98% in Canada....silence. I would have survivors on TV/radio every day to encourage us NOT only the BIG numbers of death. Symptoms, length of illness, measures used. We need REAL info!
