NEW YORK - Concerts, sporting events and other large-scale public gatherings won’t be safe to return to until late 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, one health expert recently predicted.
Zeke Emanuel, a bioethicist and director of the Healthcare Transformation Institute at the University of Pennsylvania, participated in a panel interview with New York Times Magazine on reopening the economy.
“Restarting the economy has to be done in stages, and it does have to start with more physical distancing at a work site that allows people who are at lower risk to come back,” Emanuel said, adding that certain kinds of construction, manufacturing and office jobs where you can keep 6-foot distances would be more reasonable to start sooner.
“Larger gatherings — conferences, concerts, sporting events — when people say they’re going to reschedule this conference or graduation event for October 2020, I have no idea how they think that’s a plausible possibility. I think those things will be the last to return,” Emanuel said.
“Realistically, we’re talking fall 2021 at the earliest.”

His brother. You can stop reading.
Probably early 2021.. late 2021 seems a bit long.
Nobody cares what you think you liberal pile of crap
I call BS.
Yeah, we believe that. After all virtually 100% of the “health care expert” predictions have proved correct.
I’m one who doesn’t give a **** about sports, but there’s no way that fans should even think about putting up with this crap.
Enough is enough. Perhaps the one good thing about this whole Wu Flu incident is that “experts” of all types are proving (even to clueless progressives) that their thinking processes are right up there with Slow Joe.
GET F*ING REAL!!! These LIBERALS want to CONTROL US!
I ignore the media.
Wash my hands.
I feel better.
We all going to die.
I will have a beer and a hotdog
Zeke Emanuel a health expert?!? Is this the Babylon Bee?
If you lived in a seniors home in New York State, I wonder if you would be saying the same thing.
He’s a piece of shit, so, yes, he’s related to Rahm.
The LA mayor mentioned herd immunity in this article as one possible thing that would help. Don’t think he understands the concept.
They’d wish they could all the things they
did when they were young/healthy/mobile
You mean one that the governor and HIS experts sentenced to death?
Read the name 2 words STOPPED READING!!!
“Seniors’ homes” have now been turned into geriatric prisons.
I told my family I’d rather be shot than locked up in one.
All of these predictions are going to look really stupid in a month or two, if not sooner. I hope someone is keeping an archive of these idiots sticking their feet in their mouths. I’m doing my part:

“We project that 25.5 million people will be infected over an 8 week period” - How’s that one working out for you, Mr. Newsom?
I agree!
Actually in the Northeast that’s probably a good idea, the rest of the country maybe not.
