There's no way that social distancing or shelter in place becomes a seasonal norm of any kind. Maybe some people will wear masks more often and we'll shake hands less. That's about it.
- bredren 7y agoWould you please share what makes you confident to say this? The reason I ask is that the director of the CDC just said the fall will be worse than it is now. [1] What specific medical changes will occur such that this will be "fixed" by next season?

- rosywoozlechan 7y agoMy point was that we're not going to be social distancing and sheltering in place year after year if the coronavirus becomes a normal seasonal thing like the flu. Maybe we'll do it in the fall, we will not be doing it every year after that. It's not going to happen.
