I tend to disagree. As soon as their is proof that the vaccines are working as intended, and the incident rate starts dropping dramatically, I believe people will be stepping forward more than ever to get their hands on tickets to live events, where they can be shoulder to shoulder with others. We simply are not lone wolves in nature. We have a herd mentality.
To those who say it won't happen, I'd say look back at the Spanish flu, polio, and even virulent strains of flu that are now ever present, and how effective the vaccines for these have effected us. We have moved past any fears of any of them, to enjoy life. Nothing will be different with this.
It's like a friend of mine said. He hated going grocery shopping with his wife, because he'd push the cart down the aisles while she picked out what she wanted to buy. It was boring to him. About a week ago, he told me he turned to his wife at the kitchen table and said; "I can hardly wait for our vaccination. I want to go out grocery shopping again. Eat in restaurants, and go places where there are others. I'm even looking forward to the flea markets."
This is a guy that a year ago was ticked off every time his wife dragged him out of the house.
I think this is the story of most of us. We want to get back to being part of the herd, who enjoys so damned much of life. In the end, college sports will rise again, to an even greater level, because more kids will get involved in sports than in the past. They too are getting cabin fever.
Just my opinion.
