Without getting political (hopefully), what is your personal limit on stay at home?

Let's say there's no end date for this...which, if we're honest, is entirely possible as isolating pockets of uninfected means that any point we end all this just means another flareup amongst the uninfected.

So let's say the price to pay for flattening the curve is the curve lasts 2-3 years. Could you isolate that long? What is your personal limit?

For me, I'm thinking 3 more months and then it's time for the preexisting conditioners to take their chances with the world.

There would be no more government left to enforce a quarantine if it went on multiple years.

It will not last 2-3 years. Either we will be in warring tribes by then or life will be completely normal

I think April 30th before I lose it. I love my wife but I don’t need to be around her 24/7. I got too much life for current work/life balance.

The global economy would be so thoroughly fricked at that point that it wouldn’t even matter what we did afterwards.

That is not feasible whatsoever. The virus is serious but this isn't ebola, at some point middle ground has to give way. If they can't start transitioning back to some type of normalcy by mid may, there will be a lot problems in the future that aren't COVID related.

I work from home so that part is not foreign to me

But having to work + watch a kid is really a pain in the arse. So is being unable to go do anything fun outside of our house or neighborhood basically.

I could probably do it through June if I had to but I get a real feeling that people will stop complying by end of April.
