When it does become available, Donald Trump, Barrack Obama, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Sean Hannity, Elizabeth Warren, Kim Kardashian, the Queer Eye guys, Chuck Norris, Joel Osteen, the US women’s national soccer team, and whoever the hell else need to all go on live TV, roll their damn sleeves up and get jabbed. |
Since vaccines are probably pretty far out, I think we need not put our hope in that, but rather therapeutics, in the short term. If they can treat the symptoms, like a cold, until a vaccine, then I think the general public will be more comfortable to get back to normal.

Its a virus with percentage of asymptomatic cases and virtually zero deaths in younger people (under say 50). Risk v reward

It is risk vs reward. This like everything comes down to the dollar. Air travel will return vaccine or not. The corona fear will dull (as I think it should) and it will be just like smoking/drinking/getting in a car. It will be a risk people accept.

Im sure someone that’s been at American has seen a downturn or two, maybe even the 20 somethings that were hired probably were affected by the last recession somehow. Being furloughed is not the end of the world you just have to say goodbye to all your discretionary spending as well as the 2021 Mercedes S class and start getting to know your Honda Civic again. Some are lucky enough to have a spouse that makes good money. Unemployment should be able to cover basic expenses.

As for a vaccine, Moderna seems to be close to having one ready by early 2021. |

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.
