As a business owner I hope you are right, that this clears up in weeks not months; However it would be pretty irresponsible of me to take that line of thinking, no?
The facts appear to be supporting the 3 month shutdown, they include:
- The US Government has said, including the President, that this could last until August. Some expert think that's conservative.
- A vaccine isn't likely for 12+ months.
- Testing facilities are limited and will likely take 3-4 weeks for widespread roll-out.
- We don't fully understand the dynamics of how the virus is spread.
- Congress/Senate are readying a staggeringly large help package (800 BILLION); that relief is at least 2-3 weeks away and I would argue suggests the lock down is going to last well past 3-4 weeks (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/17/white-house-senate-republicans-coronavirus-aid-133732 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/17/white-house-senate-...).
