Comprehensive data collection and analysis are the ways forward.

We need to define who truly is high/low risk. Yes, we have a general idea, the elderly and/or people with underlying conditions, but there are reports of people who don't fit into those categories who are dying.

The only way to define the high/low risk pool is through data collection. We need to know their age, gender, height, weight, blood type, medical history, geographical location, etc. of the deceased. We also need comprehensive testing and tracking on a regular basis.
