So sick of COVID!
Agreed. I contracted it a little over a month ago but still plan to get the vaccine within the next month or so.Will need the vaccine, regardless of if you've already had it, especially with the variants. I had covid. My antibody level was measured as high 3 months ago. 2 weeks ago it measured on the low side at half the level as 2 1/2 months prior, but still enjough to donate plasma. Bottom line, the antibody only lasts for so long. My guess is the vaccine will require periodic booster shots.
The new reality is real.
I disagree. I think the opposite, people will be salivating at the chance to get back to “normal”. Assuming the vaccine roll out ramps up by Sept anyone who wants to get vaccinated will have gotten it. I live in downtown Tampa and I can tell you it’s a zoo here right now with the Super Bowl. Everyone is wearing masks but there are tons of people out and about. It will be interesting to see who the first team/music venue is to allow a packed crowd. I’m sure they will all be hoping someone else just takes the plunge.I say no. Irrespective of the vaccine situation, I think a decent chunk of people have acclimated to staying home. Behavior has changed, and it will not immediately change back even after the "all clear" whistle blows (whenever that may be).
For corporate America, I think the changes are more long-term. It has been shown that a ton of people can work very effectively from anywhere. The days of people flying around for marginal meetings and iffy "customer/client events" are over. I think business (and maybe society as a whole) was moving towards "remote" in any case, but Covid-19 accelerated that initiative by 5-10 years.
I don't think its as much staying home as finding or rediscovering interests that are not spectator sports. I am not sure the Super Bowl which happens to be hosting a true home team for the first time is a good example.I disagree.

Eh, I don’t think tons of people have lost the passion to attend a sporting event in one year. Not a single person I know has. That’s not to say that the overall trend of declining attendance won’t continue but I still think we’ll see big crowds for ND and Miami for sure. Others will depend on how we look.I don't think its as much staying home as finding or rediscovering interests that are not spectator sports.

Another factor in traveling/filling stadiums is disposable income. How much has the average American lost in income in the last year? In my house it will average out to about 30-40%. Which is fortunately leveled out some by the lack of bar tabs in the last few months.
I didnt say tons , I think it could exacerbate the already declining attendance issues that are already occuring.Eh, I don’t think tons of people have lost the passion to attend a sporting event in one year.

I think travel come summer/fall will bounce back in a huge way. I know we have all kinds of travel credits from past trips we had to cancel in the last year. Despite financial setbacks we are planning a half dozen vacations in the next year.Ever hear of cabin fever? Everyone I know is absolutely sick and tired of having to stay home. People are getting in cars and just going for drives now for the sake of just being out of the house.
I’m looking forward to being in Doak. AFTER I get my vaccine!
Just got my vaccine (Phizer at .3 ml) today! The traffic was a nightmare. Got there before 7am for a 9-3 thing. Got the shot around 10:30am. And will be back in three weeks at Zero Dark Thirty. I never realized these shots could make you frisky. I'm sorry, that was the in house fireball.Ever hear of cabin fever? Everyone I know is absolutely sick and tired of having to stay home.

Sure hope the virus is well under control by the Spring game. I'm looking forward to it for sure. Right now, only about 12% of the population (300 mil) have received a shot much less their second one.Ever hear of cabin fever? Everyone I know is absolutely sick and tired of having to stay home.
