How does this thread drop off the first page?

Anyway, hope this guy from MIT is right.

Last Updated: January 26, 2021 (First posted December 9, 2020; CDC plots updated daily)
With the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, we present our best estimate of the path to COVID-19 herd immunity in the United States. Herd immunity will be reached through immunity from two sources: vaccination and natural infection. On this page, we provide the latest COVID-19 vaccine projections and current vaccination progress.
January 26 Update: We are factoring in rollout of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine starting in late February/early March. In the past week, over 1 million doses were administered per day. Given no unforeseen supply issue from Pfizer/Moderna, we now estimate that the general public can receive the vaccine by April, and over 60% of the US adult population will be fully vaccinated by June. We also estimate that over 200 million doses will be administered in the first 100 days of the new presidential administration, more than double the administratoin’s original “100 million shots in 100 days” goal. Our timeline for a complete “return to normal” remains unchanged (June/July 2021).

I agree if everything continues as it is or all other things being equal we should begin going back to “normal” later this year BUT

It will remain hard to process what will have happened in America. We will have lost 600,000 Americans or more.. one in 500 Americans will have died... lots of people will have lost family and friends due largely to a catastrophic failure of leadership...How normal is that? Is that really normal?? Probably we will as a society sweep it under the rug and move on.. most of them were old... How normal is that? How does that affect the society? What about increasing inequality and poverty in America? Is that “normal”? Maybe for the privileged they will go back to normal but what about the poor that bore the brunt of covid in terms of blood and money? Moving forward would be a repeat of sorts from the Flu of 1918.. But for many reasons that flu which killed close to 1 in 200 Americans was different...it killed young people as easily as old...it came in the middle of a world war...it was a hundred years ago before all the development that was expected to keep it from happening again AND governments basically kept a tight lid on stories about the Spanish Flu....We know it didn’t have to be like this time because we have the examples of other countries that handled it better...Australia has had less than 1000 deaths! For the world’s largest economy to fail on covid in such an epic manner might leave a mark

Honestly to speak of “going back to normal” seems somewhat in poor taste and disconnected from reality

Return to normal is predicated on the assumption no other covids develop that are immune to the vaccines... but surely having hundreds of millions of cases cases worldwide means we should be concerned about mutations

I've been saying for a while that Spring Break ain't happening but we might eke out Memorial Day Weekend. Maybe a tad optimistic....

Don’t talk like that. Your attempts at humor are super shitty.
