The government and scientists are seeing if locking down people in order to spread the disease will be enough to stop the contagion. Accomplishments in containment can be really easily undone by new waves of infection. The higher risk of this is that we still do not know when it will be safe to release people. In the Us we will be contained for 15 days in order to help slow the spread and after that we will see what to do next. The pandemic will be brought to an end by finding a vaccine or achieving herd immunity. All of the solutions that we have come up with so far have their own problems. We need to figure out how we will carry on as a society because nothing will be the same for years to come. All of this can last for more than a year experts are saying we will be in this for a long haul. Countries who did a great job containing the virus in the first wave are not in serious problems as the numbers are rising faster than the first time. Singapore says that they will be using circuit breakers in their society in order to help contain outbreak as needed. China says that we will not be coming back into a new normal. This will be a non-normal return. One of the biggest challenges is the uncertainty.
