I would hope that clearer heads would prevail.
If it appears as in Germany and Australia that the death rate is a lot less, once the peak of infections occur and a lot of people have had an are asymptomatic then maybe we can get back to normal.
If that is the case maybe it will be 3 months rather than 9, and the short term shut down may be enough to stop the health system from being overloaded.
I would like to get some of the test kits that tell if you have had it, as I would be prepared to bet my wife and my other daughter may test positive.
