>Leave out? Another interpretation might be that your sources- even after this long a delay in responding- still lag behind the experiences and findings of clinicians and scientists awaiting peer review. Until those findings can be responsibly published, the public certainty of modelers and laypeople holds sway.

>As an example: the US approved antibody testing on Friday. Your sources may not yet appreciate what this means (after all they're hardly registering the approach of warmer weather) but eventually they'll cotton on and you can lecture me about that too. ;-)

JR, believe me, I am holding hope that life returns to normal sooner rather than later. I hold hope anytime I hear that they've made discoveries about the soft-underbelly of the virus, reports about antibodies, any small hopes about use of existing drugs....

But here's the reality - our country has had the equivalent of a major stroke. Yes, you can make an argument that some locations are hit harder than others. But bottom line, there is no way we are "back to normal" or anything resembling that this year. I've accepted it. I hope I'm wrong. But I don't think I am.
