Its not a binary decision. You can gradually reopen w/o waiting 2 years for a vaccine. Putting aside that Reb Yosef’s hero (the Trumpkopfer rebbe) has told us the vaccine will be available to everyone by the end of the year, The New York area has experienced roughly 25,000 to 30,000 deaths in the past 2 months out of a national total of about 96,000 so it would make sense we are going to be slower and more prudent about reopening. Cuomo is moving slowing after some really bad decisions back in March. The nightly hespedim here on YWN have been painful beyond belief. Clearly , you believe the economic pain should take priority over the niftarim. Some of us respectfully disagree with your priorities.
