If I know our country, we'll be back in lockdown by early October due to school and people being idiots. And we'll not try this ridiculousness for another few months.

Agreed. October is my prediction as well. No schooling. Teacher hired. Doing the pod thing with a few other families.
Spouse works in HC. Risk there is nearly zero due to already pre-Covid assiduous use of PPE. School risk? Near certainty of virus acquisition, as kids are most potent vector. No sense in taking that risk. Not out of personal fear of getting it (nobody I know who's had it recently has been hospitalized, and most have numerous co-morbidities). I just don't want spouse or I to be quarantined and lose business as a result. As you might guess, my view of the near term economic future is bleak, and I want to not only sustain but build businesses in this moment, to ensure most robustness before a deep correction (in more than the market) I think is coming.
He who survives this and survives it well is going to absorb much of the business from those who do not. I just wish I'd invested in R/E opportunities that were offered to me. But what sane person in 2019 would have bet on McMansions, and suburban residential R/E more generally, having a spectacular upside? Fucking title agents are making insane money right now. Title agents. Fuck me!
