A vaccine could be approved. A treatment could be developed that is proven to significantly improve mortality & morbidity. Herd immunity could be established as the virus spreads relentlessly through the population in August, September, October, November, December & January. The epidemic could fade away, as they sometimes do.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I don't think it leads to games on the field.

- Vaccine - Yes, this would calm people down. That's a hope and a prayer though.
- Treatment - No, people will argue over that. Check the news for examples.
- Herd Immunity - If the numbers are high in Jan/Feb, and they probably will be, they won't be playing in March.

Moving to Spring is kicking the can with no end in sight. At least, as far as I can tell.

Which is basically what our country has been doing for the past 6 months with major policy decisions lol
