“40-70% of the US population will be infected over the next 12-18 months. ”
“How long does the virus last?
On surfaces, best guess is 4-20 hours depending on surface type (maybe a few days) but still no consensus on this
The virus is very susceptible to common anti-bacterial cleaning agents: bleach, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol-based.”

This is an awesome link. Very helpful.
Glad I posted here. The Piggs are generally toughtful.
This is what I see:
Short term lockdown to keep the demand for care below the capacity. Schools will open April 15 and run like a cruise ship with disinfectants in every room.
All but the most disciplined of germophobes are going to get it but death rate will prove be much lower than 1% in the short term since only the worst cases are tested.
Death rate will come down as people develop immunization, the medical industry develops treatments and/or vaccines.
Fade away in Summer and come back in the fall.
It’s going to look just like the flu in a year or two.
Restaurant / Bar industry going to suffer.
Cruises, for sure. Air travel, too.
Road trips may be popular this Summer.
If this is recession-inducing, this definitely poses a greater risk to Trump than the impeachment ever did. People vote their pocketbooks, no matter who is responsible for the economic situation.
