What is the most effective approach In order to get the virus under control, nearly all countries do follow the same approach; let's call it extensive social distancing. While not assessing the positive impact on this, there is a negative impact on the economy for which we do not know the consequences. Are there really no alternative approaches? Happy to get your feedback - E.g. how about just isolating the high risk group and all other people shall continue with their regular life- and working style.

Short analysis as of today In Wuhan/China there are no more new cases. Thanks to their rigorous measusers they had been able to completely flatten the curve. In other countries due to various reasons such measures can not be implemented, therefore it takes more time to completely flatten the curve. A vaccine will not be available before begin of 2021. Which options do you have now ?
