[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know we have a million Debbie Downers on DCUM, but let's get real people. Barring a variant that evades the vaccine, we are going to have a large amount of the population vaccinated and additional immunity from those recovered. The numbers are going to be very low this summer. Everybody around us and across the country is going to be relaxing considerably. Yes, some states opening 100% now are nuts, but when the numbers are down and most adults vaccinated, severe restrictions and closures won't stick. I don't know how in the world this statement of his can be serious compared to last summer with no vaccines. It's ludicrous. [/quote]

It's just PR/damage control.

If Erlich said "we're optimistic about vaccine distribution so we plan on having everything open this summer." that gets small cheers now and by the time summer has rolled around if we are in good shape to have everything open nobody cares because it's business as usual but if things don't improve and everything shuts down people lose their shit.

By saying "we might have to close everything down for another summer," he gets a few boos now but if that's true by the time summer rolls around it's old news but if he gets to say "we're doing better than expected so everything's open" all of a sudden people who weren't expecting to have a summer now all of a sudden have one and everyone loves him for it.
