Tracing the precise consequences of policy measures or institutional reforms – and estimating when they might “pay off” – is hopelessly complex.
To my mind, the world needs much better metrics for tracing these interconnections.
Such a response must be underpinned by adequate (and considerable) funding; well-trained doctors, nurses, and community health workers; and improved local capacity for diagnosis, treatment, contact tracing, and the isolation of infected individuals.

For starters, the US needs better pool testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, timely tracing, and focused isolation of COVID-19 infections.
And widespread contact tracing, such as through Bluetooth-enabled apps, may help countries to reopen their economies more safely – a possibility that even some staunch civil libertarians recognize.
Japan’s official communications have been less clear, but the limited lockdown – and the failure of contact tracing in some contexts – suggests that herd immunity will occur.

Contact tracing – which has helped to limit the spread of the virus in parts of Asia, such as Singapore and South Korea – should also be considered.
This requires not just tracing the contacts of those who are infected, but also distinguishing which of their contacts are most likely to have been infected.
Contact tracing cannot work without fast test results, but it can work well even if more rapid tests are not as accurate as the ones we have now.
Apps can improve not only the scalability of contact tracing, but also, importantly, its speed.
Contact tracing, whether conducted manually or by app, recommends quarantine to the close contacts of those who test positive.
Now, the only generally accepted solution is a gradual relaxation of restrictions, enabled by mass-scale testing, tracking, and contact tracing to identify all those with whom an infected person has interacted.
