In 6 months when a vaccine is out? But almost nobody will have it. In 12 months when a vaccine is out and 10% of the population has taken it? What about in 24 months when there will be enough for everyone in the USA but more than half the population won't take it?
What is the endgame here?
What will it take for the government to give me permission to hang out with 10 or more people sometime before 2023?
Of course if people supporting either path decide to get violent and go some road other than democracy, all bets are off on how it will turn out. Doubt that happens though as much as some might fantasize about it. It's almost all downside for everyone involved.
I'm sure you'll still feel that way when it's someone from your family "biting the bullet" of COVID.
The vaccines are coming. It will be months, not years, for them to be widely available to anyone who wants one. The fact that people simply cannot put their lives on hold for 6 months for the greater good here is just mindblowing to me.
The real dream would be a covid 19 breathalyzer test that you can make somebody blow on the way into an event or party, guaranteeing that everybody on the plane would be disease free
