It's all opinion, so no one can really say he's wrong until we're through this...but I think he's way off base here. Every day an end to this seems a LITTLE further away. Once there's a vaccine, that's when I think we'll see REAL change, to this point we don't even have testing at a 10/10, it's at like a 4/10. Also, when flu season rolls back around, it'll be another test.

If we're testing at really great rates by September, like throwing tests around. Like testing everyone multiple times, not just once...then I think we'll see stuff turn.

Full scale travel, especially leisure...boyyyy...Spring break 2021? I think that would be my "target" if I were an airline exec. One would hope business travel and some leisure travel (like me) will kick in well before that Spring Break 2021, but I don't think we're gonna have stags of 8-15 guys going down to Vegas, or Cancun...or going to visit Grandma in Florida etc until we're really through the thick of this. Until people can be confident that not only will they not get sick, but that our standards of clean are good enough.
