Many of us are asking questions about the duration of the pandemic and our efforts to practice social distancing. When will this be over? When can we resume our normal daily activities?

In an attempt to answer these questions, The New York Times recently published the findings from a survey of 511 infectious disease specialists asking when they personally expect to resume 20 activities of daily life ranging from getting a haircut to attending a concert or sporting event.

Here to talk about why these questions are so hard to answer is Alaska Public Health Nurse Donna Bean.
