This seems accurate.

I assume I will teach in person in fall semester and will likely be on at least one of two vaccine shots by then. Maybe flying by April 2022. Live events outside by summer 2022. Indoor events, maybe winter 2022. Maybe.

Based on this thread, I started asking my colleagues and read some of the science flying around and that’s where I am

(Also, publications gotta stop scrolling my timeline...)

Mind you, I bought VIP Usher tickets for Vegas, so I am not immune to girlish fantasies! But I know I ain’t seeing his ass sing make me wanna until 2022. Lie to others, never to yourself.

My major planning tension is flying. I won’t be flying until I am vaccinated and have given that vaccine a curing period that I make up for myself. That restricts me to driving distances. I am now old and don’t drive more than 4 hours or so.

If you look at latest vaccine roll out numbers, the initial vaccine schedule doesn’t seem feasible. You assume a recalcitrant administration, lag time to get a new admin up to speed, inevitable state variations by race and class...and well.

But I’m sure I could be wrong.

Just keep in mind that I have a high tolerance for uncertainty. Very high. If you need to believe you will be at summer jam or whatever in may, then so be it.
