But 6-24 months is very possible but it's not really relevant to an article claiming the East has beaten the West, 6 months would redefine everything. > Is there any reason to believe we get can it through 60-80% of our society within 12 months?

Jokes aside the Imperial College report put it at ~4 months untouched for instance. So fully reopen with social distancing measures like masks, then 12 months seems possible.
