[quote=Anonymous]I think next year things will begin to return to normal, maybe during the summer. 
Why?
I hope we have a new president. This will mean we'll have more targeted fast testing, which will quickly pin point hot spots, and stamp out any flare ups.
This will mean most of us can go back to normal life. Movies, etc.
I think there will be a cell phone app that will read your results from a rapid test, so you'll be allowed to go into stores, movie theaters, etc. How this will work so people don't switch phones, etc., I don't know, maybe a fingerprint ID system? 
Vaccines will start to appear, but it will take time to get most people vaccinated, and to find out if there are any side effects that are dangerous. 
Many of the new vaccines will only be 50% effective, so people will still have to wear masks and socially distance. 
I think 4-5 years before things really return to "normal", but I may be optimistic. We may never return to the way things were here back in February 2020. 
There are so many unknowns. The virus may mutate to the point where it's no longer infectious, or only causes a common cold, nothing nefarious or fatal. 
Or the virus may be with us forever, like flu, with different strains circulating throughout the world. 
We may need annual covid vaxes in addition to flu vaxes. 
BUT given that covid is so much more dangerous than flu, we may still have to wear masks and socially distance if we are not armed with daily rapid tests we can show everywhere we go. 
A treatment may appear (like penicillin in the 1940s) that will end the illness. 
This all depends on a DEMOCRAT in the White House leading and sending appropriate funding to the correct areas, based on scientific research and advice from experts who actually know what they are talking about. 
Pray Biden wins, else this scourge will continue, deaths will increase...no, no no no no[/quote]
