OR until there's viable treatments (and testing everywhere of course). This is also an option that isn't talked about enough. The economy in general and our mental health will.not.wait until a vaccine is here. They just won't. I'm not saying this isn't going to be a rough road or that things will be open even by mid summer. But waiting a year or more to re-open ANYTHING is not sustainable in any way, shape, or form. There was a new Harvard study saying these measures would have to go on until 2022 if nothing changes, as in, vaccine isn't made quickly, no distancing measures, no reliable treatments, etc. (those pieces were irresponsible clickbait reporting, but I digress) and y'all....we can barely sustain 2-4 more months of this, let alone two YEARS. There's no way. So we need to demand better of our leaders to come up with better plans than what is being suggested because a year or more of this would descend into a total collapse and anarchy that we've only seen in movies...not a single one of us has endless patience to wait until next spring. That's just the mental health and human herd species nature aspect, but economically? There will be NO jobs to come back to if we kept these closures up for a year. So unless those in power WANT Armageddon style riots and revolting (heck, I wouldn't put it past some of them...) they better come up with something quick...this is a matter of sustainability now.
