Wuhan has finally just lifted the lock down after 76 days.
It think the US has decided that deaths can be allowed to rise to 60,000 in order to shorten the lockdown period, thats the acceptable number probably because thats about how many people die from regular flu in a bad year.
So lockdowns will end when they estimate only that many people at most will die, they wont wait 76 days to get an even lower number. I dont think the US can afford to wait that long anyway.
I'm just guessing...economically...the U.S. can only afford to keep a lockdown for 2 - 3 months.
Actually, anything more than 2 months, the President Trump can say goodbye to his re-election bid because the Democrats will spin that long of a lockdown into something that gives them an easy victory.
In fact, the media will start to spin stories about a possible lift of the lockdown for timelines like May 1st or June 1st.
