How long are you planning on SIPing?

let's talk facts. The earliest vaccine that will be available in all likelihood is spring next year. This assumes that the virus doesn't mutate again which can effectively start things over. There are 4 other coronavirus types that are responsible for the common cold, meaning coronaviruses are notorious for being mutative.

So the question you should really ask yourself is when are you going to be comfortable enough to be around other people, what risks are you willing to take. In all likelihood this virus is here to stay permanently and be a yearly thing just like cold/flu seasons.

NOTE: I did not compare lethality etc, was strictly talking about the similarities between how the virus is behaving.
