Hopefully the gov will just decide its more worthwhile to infect everyone determined healthy for 2 or 3 weeks and wait for them to recover and have enforced mass immunity of we can't get a vaccine fast enough...
What scares me is that it's the politicians who are making all the decisions, and they don't always tend to be scientific, even if the politicians are relying on scientific advisers.
My guess is that it'll be another couple of months of hysteria and then the virus will burn itself out--hopefully, and again that's just my guess. People are talking about how we're living in a different world now, but we really aren't. This isn't the first epidemic the world's faced, and IMO it could have been a hell of a lot worse. Imagine if the mortality rate for COVID-19 was a lot higher than it is. People would be locking themselves in their houses even more than they're doing now.
In my area there are still a lot of businesses that are still open, including some that I would consider non-essential. But we're doing alright in spite of that.
