It seems clear that flatline meant what he wrote, "we can't never go outside again", and not the opposite, "we can't ever go outside again".

Brooklyn residents crowding the streets are agreeing with that sentiment.

Streets were crowded in SF's mission tonight too, with many people 1) not wearing masks (or wearing the mask on their chin (!?!)) 2) being in close knit groups.

Fingers crossed I guess, but given that 1) the virus is still around AND 2) we do not have a vaccine AND 3) we do not have herd immunity, I can't say I feel very optimistic about the next month or so.
