The manufacturers leading the pack anticipate enough doses to vaccinate every American by summer of 2021. Approval is imminent, and frontline workers will be first in line.
Get out of here with late 2022 bs.

I think some schools will pretend it will be earlier, but that's just posturing and theatrics.
I think if you want in-person school, you have to move or go to private.

Prepare to be mad. It's not going to happen.
Or make plans to get out.
If I didn’t have a kid I would kill myself. Overall economic outlook is bleak for so many.

You're probably right, but I hope you're wrong.
My child will be 11 years old in September 2022 and this will have consumed 25% of his life. He's not doing well now, and I can only guess what another year or more of this will do him. And he's one of the lucky ones, from a stable, supportive home.
I get there are no easy solutions and we have very few options, but that doesn't stop this from being devastating.
