Places in China that have been locked down have been locked down for >40 days before they saw a full reduction in number of new cases. Wuhan is still seeing new cases every day. I would assume at least 6 weeks as a baseline, with potential to be longer.

I think it’ll be months minimum - the Wuhan of the US is currently New Rochelle but we didn’t lock down until it’s been spread throughout the country unlike in China. We are not nearly prepared enough and, to mobilize the way we need to, will be such a massive effort due to greed as our country isn’t designed for public good. There are plenty of ‘business-minded’ ppl who think this is a joke but the reality is that they don’t want to accept the fact that their ideals and visions are fantasies - be more observant of the actions that are being taken to survive this and look at the extreme measures being taken across the world - Italy, Iran, China, etc. I think if it doesn’t last for months, it will be because the people in groups that make the policies have decided to pillage and take what they can and let things unfold however it plays out (i.e., carnage).

Totally agree.

I think it is 2 months.

Surprised at some of the comments here; thought it would be a couple weeks at the longest!

It depends on whether the curve flattens.

Probably a few months.

I’m happy I finally get to enjoy my home I’ve been using as a “crash pad” for years. It’s made me appreciate it more.
