I think we'll be back at it soon. Here's a very informal bit I wrote in early April for some other economists. Much of the urban proletariat will disagree but I'm stickin' to my story.....
It's only my opinion and quite speculative but money generally talks. The economic devastation and it's immediate, direct impact will probably necessitate re-opening closed businesses whether or not the curve flattens, or at best declines. A vast majority of the population and provincial governments are tapped out and will need to get the economy going sooner than their medical advisors would like. More particularly, those under say 65 who feel they are not seriously at risk, are suffering most and will exert tremendous pressure on governments and their treasuries to normalize.

Yes, things will have to re open or else the country will go bankrupt. The medical field would like to have everything closed until 80% of the population went through the virus but the economy can't wait that long. So it will be a delicate balance of opening things but not letting the hospitals get overwhelmed. In reality, unless you live in a rural area, all of us will get the virus before there will be a vaccine available. I'm not looking forward to this and this keeps me up at night but the chances are stacked against any of us that lives in a city. We will all get it before the vaccine. It will sweep through the entire planet and those in old age homes will pay the heaviest price.

The good news for most is that 99% of the Quebec deaths are among those over 80. Should be pretty indicative and my apologies to those over 80 for bringing this up. In the US and Iceland the medical authorities estimate 25% and 50% respectively of those infected will have no symptoms. Not sure how valid this is but I'm struggling to find good news.
