May I explain: Studies have shown that if you lift the social distancing restrictions, you end up re-starting the process from scratch and creating a new curve that needs to be flattened, yet again.What have you seen that suggests that?
Certainly not timelines from any other country on this planet. China’s lockdowns lasted 2 months. Korea, Taiwan, other countries in that area have bounced back. Italy is also recovering at a noticeable clip per day over the past week. Maybe there’s some other planet you know of?
6-12 months is outrageous. Maybe if we weren’t mitigating but we are, and the models/forecasts made by professional scientists and doctors all point towards a peak in roughly 2 weeks with social distancing and lockdowns lasting until the end of April.
The only way to realistically be able to lift restrictions is to get the entirety of the infected population, when it gets small enough, quarantined from the rest of society.
Lockdowns ending on April 30th, 2020 is a pipedream. Maybe April 30th, 2021.
