So like....what happens when this thing hits 'peak'. It doesn't just go away. How long do we live like this?

(not complaining, but I'm curious. Is this our new normal?)

We'll be back to health in a few months...the impacts will be felt for longer, but health wise, we'll bounce back -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 06:42
Always takes a scare to wake people up. Remote Workforces, Cloud, Online all taken to new levels. Internet circuits stressed, expanded -- nm - budice Mar 12, 06:39
I don't think this is our new normal, but I do think our "normal" becomes something different. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 06:37
Unlikely this is our new normal. These coronaviruses typically result in vaccines or eradication. I mean, it could be, but history tells us the chance - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:36 8
- Best case scenario for vaccine is year to year and a half. Is this our normal until then? -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 06:38 7
  - If we don’t contain it, sure, but again most viruses have shown susceptibility to humans acting smartly as explained in great detail in that long form - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:42 4
    - It just seems like we won't eradicate it completely, some idiot will still do something idiotic, and then it can start spreading again. - ty97 Mar 12, 06:45 3
      - I mean if you want to imagine scenarios were this becomes the new normal I’m sure you can. I’m just looking at past experience with these outbreaks an - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:50 2
        
        Right, i don't think this becomes the norm for the future. but i do 100% believe it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 06:50 1
        
        That's statistically guaranteed, too -- nm - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:53
  - No. Look at China. Something like only 8 new cases yesterday. It blows over and then people get vaccinated -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 06:40 1
    - China is an authoritarian rule, people obey orders or go to prison, people are checked every other block, before entering transit stations -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 12, 11:18
