People may go back to work, but its not going to be in a couple of weeks. A lot of people are still going to be dying, body bags are still being filled up and put in refrigerated trucks.
There is no way to know how our society has changed once we get out of our homes and enter society again. Sports? Concerts? Festivals? Whos going to a game with 20K-30K people anytime soon. I was so disappointed in our reaction as a society after 9/11, the giving into fear. Maybe we learned this time to not give into the fear?

The difference is 9/11 had a shock value... the horror of planes crashing into buildings, mass destruction, mass instant death, etc. that this pandemic does not have.
That's why I think the public will get back to normal much sooner than after 9/11.
People are recognizing that COVID-19 is a minor illness for 80%+ of the population.
