Someone recently asked how long it would be before they resume. I stayed there was no way to know, but if Biden were ejected, the country would probably go on total lockdown, so it could be (not definitely) as early as next April or May. If orange anus was re-elected, nothing will be done and it could be a minimum of 2-3 more years, at least. By then we will be a third world country and there may not be much left of us.

The very earliest I can see is a little less than a year from now. That is assuming everyone cooperated with Biden. I think there is a good part of this country who have been brain washed a a good part who care not about others. They will defy/ignore any orders put forth by Biden.

We will see what happens. In other words, we are barely out the door.

Still in the beginning. We have 2 - 3 years to go before we get back to theaters, concerts etc Arazi Aug 2020 #1
