It looks like policy makers are sort of starting to work under the assumption that a vaccine is around the corner (the plan AFAIK is if all goes well to start around October in the US). Assuming that's correct, I guess the goal is/should be somewhere between 1 and 2. Keep as few people as possible from getting it for a few more months, while not collapsing society/economy completely.

I've seen nothing to indicate that a vaccine will be ready in three months. We wouldn't even have completed a Phase 3 clinical trial by then. Fauci has said he's optimistic that we might get a vaccine by the New Year, but he wasn't clear on whether that was a good candidate being identified, or a vaccine being widely available.

That is the most optimistic scenario, but it's still possible: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/06/22/best-scenario-wi...
