Clearly there’s no exact science to this answer nor historical empirical evidence on this specific virus to go on .....butttttt..... what are people’s opinions/general consensus/ gut feel on when we can go to work, bars, restaurants, weddings, hand shaking, parties, shopping normally and orgies again

The government line is 12 to 16 weeks but my view is how long is a piece of string ...

As a healthcare worker I'm hoping thats a gross over estimate but as a realist i cant see things getting better much before the end of may

Well, depends how hard the financial impact is. People may not have the money to go out again once the pandemic is over.

It'll be when they have a vaccine readily available and that could be a year or more.

I genuinely think it depends on how quickly they develop and produce a vaccine. The herd approach will help but that will take weeks and still require people to isolate. I think we're looking at 6 months of major disruption and 12 months recovery.

Normality as we knew it has gone. This virus I can't see disappearing.

There will be a new normal ahead, this virus will keep raising its ugly head the chance of eradicating it is slim.

Just as with other infections they sweep around the world with the season's. The modern transport and ease of travel means it will forever be a cycle of transmission and treatment. Add the likelihood of the viruses continuation of mutations. It is without a doubt modern society allow pandemics to happen swiftly. Overcrowding, overpopulation, modern transport and people unable to afford proper health care are recipes for disaster. The planet will always be on the verge of epidemics and pandemics in current societies the last 200 years is evidence. Mrsa hasn't been eradicated we just learn to live dealing with it and every new bacteria and virus we come across. Normalisation is the future.

In the grand scheme of things life will return to normal relatively quickly, the big issue right now isn’t that people are needing critical care in hospital, or that coronavirus is killing them, as has been pointed out on many forums more people each year die of flu. Don’t get me wrong it is a horrible thing but people do die of illness in hospital every day. The issue is, as with all pandemics, the rate at which the disease is spreading through the globe meaning it is overwhelming health services breaking there capacity to not just deal with coronovirus but the other issues they usually face this time of year, seasonal flu, heart attacks, stroke, car accidents etc.

If the same number of us got infected over the space of 12 months not 6 weeks then this would just be an aside, a comment in a newspaper page 6-7 and nothing more.

Yes coronavirus is here now, it’s in the global population to sit alongside the other diseases we all catch every day and our body deals with, usually without us even knowing. There will be other blips as people who avoided it this time catch it in future, countries that shut down and avoided it entering this time will get it in future to. But it will not be as big as this time this sudden influx will expose most of us to it building our immunity. Stopping us spreading it in future.

And humanity is strong and has a remarkable ability to shake things off and move forwards. Just look at the parts of the world that deal with outbreaks like this on a yearly basis, we are a resilient species able to move forwards with our lives remarkably quickly.

So when will humanity return to normal, probably within 6 months people will be talking about this period anecdotally, forgetting to wash there hands again, If bars and restaurants and clubs fold, others will step in and reopen and rename them, rehiring those made redundant. Where there is demand there will always be supply and overnight we won’t just stop doing things.

If airlines collapse, then don’t worry, in 12 months we will all need those flight routes to take us on our end of winter holiday, those pilots and flight attendants may be wearing a different uniform but the demand will be there for them to get there jobs. The period of no income will impact if the government does nothing to help people. But overall the economy will stabilize roughly to where it was 3 months ago.

Yes people will have died, a large number in a very short space of time and in 12 months time there might be an event or a memorial. But as a species we will have got back into payrise normal routine, doing our normal thing and living our normal life. There might be a new vaccine to be taken alongside the flu jab for some high risk people, but overall life will go back to normal.

Given that the most vulnerable will be asked to isolate for 12 weeks from about now I'd assume the expected easing of these measures would be in about 8 weeks. That could be temporary. Treatment and vaccination will happen but until then nothing will be like it was.

In my opinion anyway.

Yep. We'll adapt, people always do but it would be foolhardy I think to assume that life will just revert to how it was in December 2019

Sheep mentality, one thinks it's something they have to do many will think the same.

Just like sheep, scare sheep they will corral themselves to a cliff edge if they felt safer there even if it means some fall over the edge. People lose common sense when other people are seen doing it no matter how irrational it is. Large population have this mentality and few in the population have individual thoughts. Proof - all the ridiculous trends even if it's life threatening the sheep will copy it because it's the trend. Bucket challenges, Kylie Jenner lips challenge, planking in various places, cinnamon challenge, trying to get the most shocking pictures death defying lengths. Sheeple can't help but feel compelled to follow what others do. One person panic buys bog roll and the rest follow even if they know it's irrational.

Works in America especially churches they feel compelled to. How society works in terms of mass control and anyone who is more of an individual is an outcast. Peer pressure and peer acceptance. If someone else joined you guarantee anyone with the money to would be there doing the same flinging 20 quid notes just to be seen to fit in.

And there's going be one person standing there thinking you've lost the plot

Psychology of social behaviour. Many studies have shown even people can be compelled to commit heinous crimes just by sheeple mentality.

It will never return to how it has been for the previous 50 years. It may eventually be better. It will certainly be different. There has never in recorded history been an event that has affected the entire world as quickly as this, or that has cost so much in socio-economic terms as this will.

I think it'll be 4 months at least before you can go for a pint, and even then it'll be an anxious pint as Covid-19 will only be in decline, not gone. And I think that'll be a temporary pint, because by the winter Covid-20 will hit, a 2nd wave which will knock us out again until about this time next year. Then, and only then, if it's mutated to a weaker strain, can we even begin to think of rebuilding our lives, the ripples of which will probably stretch out for the next few generations. Make no mistake, this is a paradigm shift equalled only by the impact of WW2 or the great depression.

Just in time for the winter flu season to combine with it?

It's hard to say at this point as the government has been rather a failure, making stuff up, after mistakes, so if regimented restrictions get put in place, we will be at their order. In France, a government form must be filled in before every trip out, with valid reasons for you to do so - it's online, so all will be observed. If similar happens here, which wouldn't surprise me, we may be stuck until schools return in the autumn?

Will there be chaos, if people are denied summer holidays?

A vaccine won't be tested and approved for a year and, as the UK has exited the EU medicine and health agency, the UK is likely to be after the EU to get it. There will be enormous demand for millions of the vaccine, so production will be extremely slow.

Draconian measures could slow the new infection rate but it is invisible but contagious for 4/5 days, making it easy for a new infection to be passed on. Total isolation of people from others could stop it by summer but is an unlikely move by this government. Thus I expect it to go on and on.

How compliant are the UK public? Will any form of warlike rationing be acceptable here? There are lots of uncertainties but if punishments and potential to be caught are very high, people will comply.

A year is a reasonable hit, approximately. People develop habits, acquiring a new normal.
