In case there was really any doubt still:
In a recent feature in The New York Times, a panel of experts discussed when and how we should start thinking about ramping up the economy, and the trade-offs that will emerge as that happens: how can we continue to do everything we can to save lives while also making sure people can get back to work to provide for themselves and their families? When will schools reopen? When will mass public gatherings like sporting events and, to our point, concerts, become a part of life again?
One of the panelists, the bioethicist Zeke Emanuel, is vice provost for global initiatives and director of the Healthcare Transformation Institute at the University of Pennsylvania, host of a new podcast about coronavirus, “Making the Call,” and author of the forthcoming book Which Country Has the World’s Best Health Care?
Here is what Emanuel had to say about when he thinks people will be allowed to attend concerts and sporting events:
"Larger gatherings — conferences, concerts, sporting events — when people say they’re going to reschedule this conference or graduation event for October 2020, I have no idea how they think that’s a plausible possibility. I think those things will be the last to return. Realistically we’re talking fall 2021 at the earliest."
I wonder whats gonna appen w sports seasons
Will there even be an NBA season in september?
It’s gonna be a slow ass return to normalcy
I think the largest gatherings once there’s a treatment is gonna be like 100, restaurants will be at half capacity or something like that, movie theaters too.
Vaccine will make everything turn back
to normal over the course of next summer
rip all the mid djs who have popped off over the past few years.
Realistically, I can see the continued influx of livestreamed home shows having a paywall (either at a decently set cost or pay-what-you-want) for a good amount of them. Seems the most logical way to go from this point onwards
hate to see it
Idk why people are surprised
Just because quarantine ends doesn't mean we're gonna be right back to having 200+ people gatherings
