Not going to argue with eugenics guy, but I think it is very reasonable to think things can return closer to normal in the summer.. but it’s not a binary: normal or full pandemic. For example, it’s likely we should keep wearing masks for the rest of the year when in crowded indoor spaces. But, for example, if everyone in a room is vaccinated, masks just aren’t necessary. And people who’ve stayed out of indoor spaces can safely return once vaccinated. There could be another small wave, but things are looking up. People should feel optimistic.

I highly recommend this article by Zeynep Tufekci. She explains the failures in public messaging... really important stuff we must learn from: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...kfired/618147/
