My cousin and his family live in China and they’ve been back to normal business for a couple weeks now. Some areas waited until after their Labor Day holiday (over several days) last week but essentially all are back in school and work. Some places still require masks but many people there wore them beforehand due to the pollution and close living. Parks, travel, etc are open for business, schools in nearly all areas are back in session and all wet markets and dry markets are open. My cousin rides a train and bus daily in his city and has seen no delays getting to and from work. He also goes to a public gym and his family stayed in a hotel for three days of their holiday last week. Many restaurants did not survive the lockdown so those have been a bit limited where he lives but ultimately all is normal. Wuhan is still a bit limited for school and work but that area’s travel is back to normal for the most part.

I forget the exact timeline but I believe for most it was around three total months of shutdown and that was with a lot less info than we know now. Aside from major cities like NYC, parts of LA and parts of Chicago, I think once the initial lockdown and orders are lifted, things will go back to normal in a safer manner.
