I don't know how much life you have behind you, but I've seen six decades and counting.
One of the things I've observed over these years as well as in reading of history is that every age has its challenges.
Somehow, we work through them.
I suspect that we're back to pretty much status quo ante within a year.
It appears that there will be a useful vaccine or three by the end of this year and that alone will accelerate our return to pre-SARS-CoV-2 normal.
At least one such vaccine is under human trials right now.
When the threat of severe illness or even death is removed then you can bet that the number of butts in seats for all airlines will see a sudden upswing.
Wife and I will be among those passengers on more than one flight.
We have places to go and people to see as do so many of our fellow countrymen.
The only questions that remain is with what airlines we'll be flying and at what cost.
