China did shut down travel, western countries did not shut down economy during virus spread
My opinion is that diferent countries will recover on different timeframes after COVID-19. It depends on when the pandemy started to spread in the relevant country and, of course, the extent of spread.
Ironically, it seems that the most and first affected country might be, in the end, better than others.
