That is reading backward....which should portray hope.
Looking forward during our time the outlook is confused by the extreme divided politics of the day. Compounded by instant global communications that allow significant emphasis on what the future holds....which are based on specific agendas...not all of which have the welfare of the masses in mind.
So based on your background, beliefs, influences, hopes.....how do you see the pandemic evolving and do you believe we will get back to life as most know/knew before the pandemic, political and special interest furor?
Not looking for blame or finger pointing or agenda promoting or who shoulda/coulda did or did not catharsis....just down to earth how do you see the future playing out as it affects and may affect your life.
I personally do not see any break with the current trends in infection until there is a vaccine/cure(?). Or there is a new infection/death rate that is accepted as it is what it is like the flu, cancer, auto deaths, smoking deaths, etc.
As the saying goes....this too shall pass.
I personally think the bigger issue facing our lives and how it affects all of our futures, is the accelerating deterioration of law and order to a new level of acceptable violence and selective enforcement of laws.
It seems we are being driven on a win/lose course with significantly dangerous results.

So, how does this all play out?
There's an almost endless number of scenario's...to name a few:
Once a vaccine is created everything returns to where it was (not gonna happen)
With the huge debt that we currently have, congress looking to spend $1 to $3 TRILLION more on relief and no vaccine yet....the whole US economy could completely collapse when we finally realize that we can't just print more money. When that happens China steps in and we go the way of England, Rome, Greece, Egypt etc.
Another scenario is that no matter what happens in November, we are never able to come together again as a unified country. Result, the USA as we knew it ceases to exist.
Another scenario is a vaccine is developed, the pandemic goes away over time around the world...as a population we are still divided, but we find a way to co-exist for the most part...but the same issues that we have today continue to fester and flare up
