No way we stay locked down for that long. I think the goal now is to mass produce enough masks and ventilators that we can get back to normal pretty soon with everyone wearing masks until the vaccine is finalized.
The shutdown makes sense in the short term. It buys some time to beef up our supply of ventilators and masks for a larger population that will need treatment at some point.
