[quote:Anonymous Coward 78934172:MV80NTA2ODMwXzgyMTA2MjU0X0IxMzY2MzY1] Just because there is a vaccine means nothing. It’s estimated it will take over 3 years to vaccinate 360 million people in the US. Military, health care workers and essential government workers first. So forget about doing anything that depends on a vaccine any time in the next few years. [/quote]

The resumption of indoor dining in New York City hinges on a “huge step forward” — like the development of a coronavirus vaccine, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.
The mayor sounded less than optimistic that eatery owners and workers would be able to start earning a living again — and diners able to enjoy a meal inside an eatery — before the June 1, 2021, return date, set earlier this month.
“We do expect — and pray for and expect — a vaccine in the spring that will allow us to get more back to normal,” he said at his daily press briefing, “but I will absolutely tell you, we’re going to keep looking for that situation where we can push down the virus enough where we would have more ability to address indoor dining.”
De Blasio’s grim message came despite the city recording a 0.59 percent COVID-19 infection rate — “one of our lowest” rates since March, he said Monday.
Federal officials have said a coronavirus vaccine could be ready by the end of the year.
