I hope people are right. I hope people are craving human interaction(I am). But at the same time there are tons of under 50 folks who are terrified, unjustly, of corona. So who knows when these anti-science people will be comfortable.
Our transit systems are gonna be hit HARD. Our downtowns are gonna be hit HARD. I don't know if this is a year process or forever, I don't know. But I do know this- if Illinois is going to shit and cities start to turn into pre-2000 hellholes again, I will put my happy ass in a Texan suburb.

Awesome! So all you care about is everything getting back to normal, not a single care about so many people getting very sick and potentially dying from the disease? Sweet!
Anti-science? I'm the literal opposite of that (many people here know my background is as a geologist, even though I currently am doing nothing of the sort), and while I'm not afraid of COVID-19, I have a healthy respect for it and don't wish to suffer from it. Everything will eventually return to some level of normalcy in stages throughout the summer, just as it is and will be doing throughout much of the world. Masks will likely still be required in most places, and I'm not sure how restaurants and bars are going to be managed in terms of any level of social distancing, but generally speaking, some amount of normalcy will be obtained.
Lastly, maybe you should go to that Texas suburb right now, since you already think cities are going to die off again quickly as a result of this. Go ahead, Chicago will be fine without you.
Sorry if my response is harsh, but I found your post to be quite abhorrent.
