    I am seriously in wait-and-see mode about damn near everything. We have no idea where things will stand in a week, two weeks, a month. Is it legit to hope that things are back to normal enough come September that back to school goes off as normal? Sure it is. Do we know that will be how things will work out? Nope.

    At the local level, teachers, policemen, firemen will not be paid because there is no one spending money. July 1 is the start of the new fiscal year for many localities.

    At some point we have to go outside. It will not be easy, but we have to do it. If we wait for 2022 to go back outside, some people will still not want to go outside.

    We go out slowly in waves this summer. What happens is what happens. Hopefully, our medical infrastructure will be ready for it. We cannot wait 18 months for a vaccine.

    My brother is an AD in SoCal. They are already making plans of not starting the next school year on time in August.

    I keep hearing various versions of this theme.

    Then go back in September.

    With our current POTUS, we have two choices: go back this summer or go 10 trillion in debt.

    I've been saying: When we get to May 1, we, hopefully, will have a much better focus on where things are at and where we're going.

    I have tickets to see The Music Man in October.
    I've basically given up on being able to see The Foo Fighters on July 4. Just don't see it happening.
    If The Music Man doesn't get off the ground (my tickets are a week after the scheduled opening), I'm going to be rather unhappy.
    But yeah yeah yeah. Minor concerns in the grand scheme. My real hope is I'm still alive and my kids/grandkids are all healthy in October (and beyond)

    Trade it in on a new one, problem solved.

    Except yours is so old they'd probably just pay you to drive it away.

    It sure would be fucking nice to know how many people have gotten this already.

    Let’s say 10% of all Americans have already contracted this in some form. That mean 1:100 got sick enough to go to a hospital for a test and 1:3000 or so died.

    We just don’t have enough information.
