We now know that those numbers were way overblown and the actual mortality rate is closer to .1 or .2 percent... and yet the rules just keep getting worse and worse. It makes no sense.

Nearly every service industry is in peril. Once people feel like they are protected they will start to do normal things again.
We have a president with an itchy trigger finger to start up the economy. So, a second wave of infections is a strong possibility. That would suck.
So long as the vaccine roll out isn’t the same cluster-******* as the mitigation to slow the infections, we should be good. Just relax and stop trying to guess when things will happen.

Don’t count that number as too far from reality. I think it’s possible we get many hundreds of thousands of deaths in the US alone before this is all over.
