The Imperial College Model even stated that a 3-5 month shutdown would only flatten the curve, but a second outbreak would be much harsher due to less herd immunity being developed. Their submission strategy was for 12-18 months of this our until a vaccine. Do you think that's plausible? No job is safe. I have a good job and can work from home, but if we go on another 3-4 months with no travel and still far from normal, you can at least double the 33 million out of work, and the government gravy train will be broke.
