I have no doubt that we will be shut down like we were in March.
Ok, doctors, here's a question. We shut down for six or eight weeks or something, and then we opened back up with a lot of restrictions. We did just fine under the restrictions for a considerable period of time, and now we need the restrictions again. What actually changed to cause the rise in cases? We were observing the restrictions. If they worked in June, July, August, September, why didn't they work in October and November? There is only one material difference that I can think of: the weather.
Seems to me that viruses affect more people in colder weather. I do not offer this as scientific fact; it is just my experience. If that is the case, should we just be riding out the weather rather than shutting down again? I.e., are we actually gaining anything by shutting down?
Not a rhetorical question.
