If it doesn't work, it's unlikely that we'll be indoor dining through 2021. Call me crazy, but I don't think the virus (or the illness it causes) will just magically go away. I watched video of a pastor being interviewed who was arguing that the whole "pandemic thing is a hoax. Yeah, covid is real; but there's no pandemic." The interviewer asks, "What is a pandemic to you?" He replied, "I've never seen a pandemic in my lifetime. This sure ain't one." The discussion went back and forth, or around and around, without ever reaching a conclusion. But, because he didn't think it was a pandemic, he said that masks and social distancing were unnecessary, and that he wasn't going to take no vaccine.
Just to elaborate on that point, with respect to Weisek's query before around the scale of the spread in the US; where I am we have had ZERO community transmitted covid cases for over 8 months - we've been dining indoors, going out without masks... I've been training (when i can make it lol).. all because our government managed the virus effectively, and our 'sheeple' willingly obeyed.
