      It’s hard to say. There is still a lot that we don’t know about the virus and experts aren’t sure what the answer is yet. Hopefully as the data keep coming in we’ll have a clearer picture.

      I couldn’t say for sure, but looking at progress in this and other countries I’d expect we’re looking at months, not weeks

      I think it will be at least a few months, but nobody can say for sure. The best thing to do is keep an eye on the news

      I really cannot say as I’m not a specialist in viruses or human biology.
      Lots of models are predicting different outcomes and each country is different.
      I hope we’ll be through the worst of it in a few weeks but might not be the case.

      It’s really difficult to say, and I’m not an expert in viruses. Hopefully, all the research into it that countries are doing will help get us back to normal quickly. As the others have said, this could be months away.
