I don’t mean to be negative but it was a requirement in order to receive funding in the bailout passed in Congress today. They initially intended on keeping us on administrative leave w/o benefits until that stipulation came out.

I know this is MAJOR crystal-ball but any idea when hiring will resume.

Magic eight ball says “reply hazy try again later”.

no one will know until later this year. My guess is somewhere about the 2-3 year mark when the recession subsides and
all furloughs have been recalled.

Consider plan A dead. Plan B will be gone soon.

This is a big part of it, but another part that is a little harder to predict is when will people feel safe again sitting shoulder to shoulder inside a long metal tube. A good chunk of people will not get the virus or they had it and didn’t even know it. So, the paranoia that will exist anytime someone sneezes or coughs inside an airplane is going to be around a long time.

Human fear is why no one magically going to just go back to “normal” anytime soon, no matter what we may want. The people who’ve had it will feel ok -IF- they’re confident they can’t “re-catch” it. People who’ve not had it (which experts say may be as few as 20% of us) won’t feel safe unless they’re inoculated -AND- they’re confident in the inoculation. And a shot is a year out just on the science, then you’ve got logistics - 330 million recipients a large chunk of whom don’t have health care, remember?

Both groups will require (1) belief in science and (2) trust in government, and both are under attack now, and by our own leadership.

Is it any wonder people just want to bunker down and stock up on TP and ammo? Oh, and troll on APC!

What’s needed is a thoughtful plan, aggressive, coordinated and solid execution, and efforts to restore, not diminish, confidence in our institutions. Sadly, what we are seeing is a mockery of them. Cults of personality never survive these types of challenges, and neither will this one, but this is an expensive lesson for all of us. I hope we learn it.
