In a dramatic step that underscores how long the coronavirus is expected to disrupt daily life, Philadelphia officials on Tuesday canceled all large-scale events in the city through February, including the Philadelphia Marathon, the Thanksgiving Day Parade, block parties, and other iconic traditions.

The 7½-month moratorium is one of various prevention measures that will have to stay in place until the population is vaccinated against the coronavirus, and that won’t happen before 2021, Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said.

I watched a piece on French TV tonight that made a lot of sense to me.

Timeline to “normalcy” is approx. 10 years, if a vaccine is possible. Seems legit.

TEN years? Some of us are not apt to last that long, if so, just in the normal flow of things.

Just realizing (regretfully) that AFAIK they haven't studied the population of people who never get sick despite their "viral load" and ample exposure.

They must be out there! Unless their relative safety is genetic (hence hard to mimic in the vulnerable population), I'd have thought that would be the clearest path to finding ways to protect the rest of us.

Start with 10 years. Anything less becomes a gift.

A number of years. None of us might see the end of it. Who knows?
