This is my biggest concern. These current stay-at-home orders (like California's) are very unsustainable and can only last so long. Unemployment is already well into double digits and government spending will outpace tax revenue way too quickly. Then what?
We know the virus will not be suppressed as SARS or MERS were; this coronavirus is basically everywhere and spreading. I can't see how mitigation isn't the only option after a month or two. From the very beginning the whole point of social distancing has been to flatten the curve so hospitals can operate effectively.
On the other hand, having tests so widely available that groups (probably VIP groups to begin with, pending greater availability) can all get tested before banding together to do business would be beneficial. For example, I wonder if the motion picture industry will do this for film shoots, where basically a skeleton crew all gets together for a camp and have no contact beyond each other for the during of work.
