I don't believe that we will be using the current extreme form of "social distancing" for as long as it takes to develop a vaccine. Vaccine could easily be a year and a half out.
I think we will return to a more moderate social distancing, where appropriate, after tests have been deployed and we have a better sense of the actual rates of infection in different regions.
- ken 7y agoThe current "social distancing" can't continue indefinitely without massive changes. It's not sustainable. Beyond a few weeks, it'll put a lot of people out of work, and the system can't support long-term wide-spread unemployment.
- jshevek 7y agoYes. Testing is ramping up at the moment. I think we'll have a much better idea of actual infection rates and distribution before a few weeks.
