If you\u2019re looking for reassurance that \u201cwe\u2019ve got this,\u201d I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t provide it. This article wasn\u2019t written to console or coddle you, so if that\u2019s what you\u2019re seeking, you\u2019re going to want to stop reading right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, however, you want a reality check on what I believe we\u2019re really facing, I\u2019m not going to hold back.

It would certainly be lovely if that\u2019s the case, but in my opinion, this ordeal is just getting started. I wrote an article previously about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/how-long-covid-19-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;how long we could expect our current state of lockdown<\/a>&nbsp;to last using the timelines of China and Italy as points of comparison, and based on that, we are 17 days in as of the writing of this article on April 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lockdown of Wuhan is expected to last 77 days. If our own timeline continues to echo that of China, then we\u2019re not even halfway there. We have&nbsp;<em>at least 2 months<\/em>&nbsp;left and this doesn\u2019t include any new clusters when the lockdowns are totally lifted or any second waves. We\u2019ve barely begun living in our current state of purgatory and this will continue (and most likely worsen) for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Won\u2019t Be Getting \u201cBack to Normal.\u201d Not Soon.
