Many states are slowly opening back up, you can't just shut shit down for 2 years.. Can't live in fear either, the numbers are much lower than they predicted.

The biggest problem to any solution spoke of above, will be the governors who flat out refuse to open back up. Michigan just punished the people further by extending the lock down another month. It's almost like the meme about the principal from the breakfast club punishing Bender for talking back. If people speak up about their liberties, etc., being suspended, the governors punish them by taking even more stuff away. I don't see that ending anytime soon without the Feds getting involved, and any legality of that.
There will be some states that the Governor will not allow NFL play, or even limited seating for fans.
I wonder if the NFL is considering like MLB right now, at least beginning their season in "safe" states where they have a place to play and approval from the governor(s).
There is also hanging over everyones head the issue of if the USA goes back into lockdown in the fall when the 2nd wave of Corona Virus hits. If that's the case, then there is no way, IMO that the NFL or any other sport for that matter having a season.
