It’s still indefinite until someone defines it, and I haven’t seen any public health official who’s willing to specify a date when things will be back to normal. Many aren’t even willing to say that we can go back to normal once we’re vaccinated.

I'm now at July. Before this I was at early 2022. Every successful trial pushes my date back a bit. If the oxford and J&J both successfully finish trials by the end of this year I might push back to as early as march.

Of course roll out matters. Rochester MN (Home of the Mayo clinic) might open before the rest of the country just because the ratio of health care vs everyone else is enough that they may as well vaccinate the whole town and let it open up.
