30 days from now we will have everything open. For a good 3 or 4 months afterwards, it will be all the news will talk about unless a terrorist attack or Tom Cruise dies in a stunt accident.
Maybe everyone will get sick of panicking and the media will be forced to quit pushing the story and things can back to sanity
 
Because coronavirus is solved? Or people are done resisting it? How do you see next 30 days playing out? (Genuinely curious, not being combative)

definitely not solved. As long as money can be made on this pandemic by rich people, it will never be quite solved. I do see the cases growing in the next 2 weeks (due to the amount of people tested, not because of spread). I’m a firm believer that many undocumented cases have come and gone of this the last month. When the numbers do level out in two weeks, Democrats will start clamoring to get back to this election, which in turn will get them to concede getting Americans back to a normal life environment. By April 25th, 98% of people will be back to work.

Yeah, there's no doubt many undocumented cases have come and gone. I'm pretty sure my flu was one of them to be honest. I still have the dry cough almost two weeks later.

So in your scenario we are just accepting herd immunity? I completely understand the points you and others are making about the media and rich people profiting off of panic. But I still don't understand how it makes the actual pandemic any less real.

All signs point to the USA becoming the new epicenter of the disease soon. This isn't paranoia or fake news, it's just statistics and reports from reputable sources. Cases both documented and undocumented are going to continue to skyrocket, especially if we decide to give up on the quarantine.

I see no scenario at all in which 98% of people are back to work in 30 days. LA mayor is already saying look for 2+ months of shutdown. Some cities and states will likely reopen businesses, but not all will. And some of the businesses themselves won't reopen, whether out of genuine fear or for PR purposes ("putting health first" etc).
