Lockdowns will be lifted then reimposed multiple times in different places based on dynamically changing conditions for quite some time.

Lockdowns will be lifted in phases, starting with lower-risk populations and gradually extending to higher-risk populations as herd immunity is gradually achieved.

Predictions on How Lockdowns Will Be Lifted

I'm curious how all of you predict things will play out after the peak is behind us. Hopefully I captured most of the main possibilities in this poll.

It's starting to look like the situation might actually be playing out as a combination of all three options that got votes above!
  • Some states are already reopening based on their current conditions (local, dynamic)
  • The states currently reopening seem to generally have a phased approach (not everything at once)
  • We're starting to see the beginnings of civil disobedience and protests in various states
