The only path to normalcy
There is only one path back to normalcy:
1. Biden has to defeat Trump in November.
2. The Republicans have to be voted out of power in the Senate.
3. The Democrats need to retain their power in the House and retake the majority in the Senate.
4. A vaccine and/or life saving treatment for the virus needs to happen by next year.
If all of these things happen by mid-year next year, then we should be back to near normal by mid-year 2022.
If any one of these things do not happen, then we are in for a long, hard struggle with no clear happy end in sight.
If none of these things happen, our civilization will start to crumble, and if it does crumble, we won't see normalcy in our life times.
