If only there was an honest conversation about the trade-offs between the virus and the economy. But of course, it isn't possible.
There are categories of people for whom the virus is not so much worse than the flu. You can start to reopen the tangible economy with men under 40, women under 45, with staggered work hours and masks.
You can permit family members to manage their own meeting risks. And for those without families, buddy arrangements would work where people agree exclusive arrangements.
Certain sorts of non-essential jobs are unlikely to be high risk.
The great outdoors is a good place to be if the places folks go aren't crowded.
Take small steps before taking big ones and see how things go. Adjust accordingly.
