Great video about the reopening of the schools in the US and the reasons behind it:

I think you can add a couple zeroes on that number.

A well articulated video at least given my limited political knowledge, but my question is how long can we keep schools and everything in general on lockdown for? One year, two years, five years? Doesn't sound like a vaccine is gonna happen anytime soon, assuming one gets made at all.

Several potential vaccines have reached stage III, so large scale testing. Once those tests have been completed and the results being satisfactory, then the mass production of said vaccines can start.

In other words, the first vaccines should come out in early fall, and possibly could be administered in tandem with the seasonal flu vaccine for extra security as those come out around the same time.
