This guy has wise words to that effect.

No one knows how to bring the economy back to life.

Its going to

Then we deal.

We adapt.

Anyone who says humanity isn't strong enough to see themselves through this trial is only projecting their own weakness.

It's not an If.

It will, maybe even 1-2 years

Coronavirus will last more than a few months, it will last until there is a vaccine. The question is how long life will be disrupted to this degree. No sound answer, but that too will probably be months and it will be longer for places hit the hardest like New York City.

Life will move forward to a sense of normalcy before a vaccine, but we may need to do what we are doing on and off again for the next 18 months until we have one. Probably not for months at a time like we're doing now, but we will need to disrupt it again.

China is starting to come out the other end of it now, after like 4-5 months. it'll probably take longer for countries with less effective social distancing measures, but I highly, highly doubt it'll be more than a year.

I'd love details as to what that plan for the economy is.

That's what they say anyway.

yes, that is what the people I know in China are saying.

Things won't get back to normal for about a year or more. This isn't going to quickly fix itself. No point in reopening stuff then two or three weeks later gotta close stuff again.

Stay-at-home mandates will very likely last several months, if not longer. They will last even longer if idiots keep propagating this "the cure is worse than the problem" crap. Like, someone with a bacterial infection may not care for the taste of penicillin, but they'd better take it anyway. There is no avoiding an economic shutdown, only minimizing or prolonging it.

Trump and his idiot sycophants are going to get people killed

If people finally stopped resisting and followed the orders, we would see a sense of normalcy a lot sooner. No it won't be wiped out, but we could have a large chunk of summer that can be close to normal. If we continue to drag our feet, we may not have any real free time if it comes back in the fall to the degree it did this time.

One thing to remember is the treatments will improve as time goes on, that will greatly help use get back to something close to our normal way of life. If we can shorten the time you have it and lessen the chance of worst case scenario, life won't feel much different than it did before.

there wont be a vaccine for another year.
