I'm leaning to thinking CFB won't happen this year, or it may start up and get shut down.
I'm leaning that way too.

Sadly, I think it is heading that way. At first I thought there was no chance, but then cases started dropping like crazy. I got my hopes up. This resurgence of the virus is going to be bad.  The US will never stand for another shutdown.

Everyone wants this thing to be over...

But as we crest 30K+ daily cases for the first time since May 1, maybe we're going to start to see that this thing ain't freakin' over. 

All I hope is that people see it and start to take it seriously, instead of thinking we're "back to normal". Normal doesn't exist until we get a vaccine or we reach herd immunity, and I seriously hope it's the former. The new normal is masks, distancing, and being vigilant. 

We can start to reopen, but we're not going back to normal.

 and being vigilant.

Not a strength of the masses.

We have a problem with attention span in this country. 

People were "over it" regarding lockdowns about 6-8 weeks ago, probably only about 4 weeks into actual lockdowns. So they demanded reopening and we got reopening.

Then people were "over it" regarding masks and distancing shortly after reopening, because the numbers didn't show craziness yet, so they stopped worrying about masks and distancing. 

Now the collective effect of all that is resulting in a bunch of places with case rates exploding, because you roll all that change out over 2-4 weeks and it's been silently building, and now it shows up like a tsunami. 

Sometimes I wish humanity wasn't so predictable. It's annoying to say "here's what's going to happen" and then rarely if ever be surprised.

I see nothing that makes me think that my fellow citizens while be vigilant, will wear masks when in public, and will social distance.

The people who have been lined up all week for the POTUS rally here tomorrow had a mask-burning activity today to show . . .  something.

I’m assuming masks will be required at the rally, right?

I'm over it.  Never was really into it, but I'm in fly over country.  If it wasn't for meat packing... wouldn't have been much of a thing in this area.

when the largest employer in the area tells folks they have to  work their shift although they have all the symptoms........... there's gonna be a hot spot

Passed out but not required.
The State Supreme Court ruled today that people could not be required to wear them.
The POTUS effectively discourages their wear.

seems odd
can a private business require it?

It does seem odd.
Costco requires it and enforces it.
