The media is finally starting to relay information about their concerns of the lingering effects of COVID, essentially exactly what Lissa said. They are presenting three possible outcomes, but all three predict this is going to last till the middle of next year. I hear they (gov mouthpieces) are being overly cautious and coy on info release due to fear the population will react badly, like buying up all the toilet paper bad, but next level once they realize the country will be 1/2 way shut down till the middle of next year!
Having said that, it's clear Eppie was right, and we will have to make a choice here soon. The reality is, COVID is only slightly more deadly than influenza.... However is hundreds of times more contagious.... So if we open up the world, millions will die, but the economy will be saved. If we keep the economy closed, we will (potentially) lose millions to starvation, and the economy will be ruined taking many years to recover from. Both sound pretty terrible if you ask me. And if COVID does not mutate, things will hopefully return to normal by next year and this will be but a distant memory. Keep safe everyone. It's going to be a rough road ahead.
