Ask HN: How long do you think the quarantine measures will last per country?
As many of the countries steadily more affected by the COVID pandemic enact social distancing and quarantine measures, there have been varied claims about how long these will last. I've heard estimates ranging from a couple weeks to months. What this makes me ask is: first, for those of you who comment here and can make a better educated guess than some others, what strikes you as a plausible scenario in the following weeks? Secondly, how can they be on the shorter end of that if the virus is still active and still without a vaccine or treatment. As soon as quarantines get ignored or lifted again, wouldn't new infections simply retake their previous surge, causing new saturations? 1 comments on Hacker News.
