I don’t think you’ll get all people to agree to an answer, which leaves individuals to decide for themselves.
As for governments I really don’t know. I don’t believe any government in the US has actually locked anyone down at this point, despite the doomsday extrapolations posted here. Washington state is maybe the closest but loads of people are still coming and going to legally do things that require some imagination to describe as essential.
If China is a reliable indication it looks like 4 months is a minimum to get most people back working and going a oit a modified version of their daily life. Whether that results in a resurgence in infections we should see in a couple of weeks.
