I agree, it could easily go that far, end of June. It all depends on the numbers. I think though, most people and businesses could potentially handle the 6-8 weeks and come out of it. 12 weeks could kill a lot of businesses.

Certainly construction would have major issues anything beyond 6 weeks.

Difficult times.
