So: we have two outstanding vaccine candidates so far -- both of which have 90%+ efficacy, and are already in production.

This is obviously amazing news for all kinds of reasons, but I'm interested in thinking through what next August and Everything After will look like for development trends. Do people return to offices? All at once or slowly? Will WFH remain? What's left of bars and restaurants by that time, knowing that we're also in a horrific COVID spike now that's uncontained and could rage all winter?
Given that the vaccines are so crazy-effective . . . will it all eventually be like this never happened? Kind of unthinkable to even say that, but . . . here we are.

Jesus, I'm sure we all have realized that everyone has their own prophecy as to what COVID will bring to human existence. I see the above timeline as most realistic. I am feeling confident traveling back to my home in Italy around late June or July....my hope is that this has made us view pathogens and biology in a very different way--normalizing wearing a simple mask when one has the flu.
I really believe in 2029 we will look back at this year with a heavy heart and see what sacrifices we needed to make to advance. We've all adjusted and adapted so much...In the end, I think this has brought the world together a bit more. Much MUCH brighter days are coming within this decade. Trust me.
