I thought the same thing when this all first started back in March. I was certain that by August people would have moved on and accepted the risk vs reward. But now it doesn't look that way. Large numbers of idiots are actually terrified of this thing, acting like catching it is a death sentence. I get it if you are high risk, and we all have a role to play in stopping the spread (masks despite me hating having to wear them)..but 'cmon. At this point I don't think we are returning to normal until a vaccine arrives. Not with the 24 hour news cycles on a constant rampage of fear.
As for a vaccine, Moderna seems to be close to having one ready by early 2021.
