Let's all hope for a return to normal in 2021.
now think about this: there's 332m people in the usa, and 471000 deaths. that's less than a quarter of a percent: 0.14 to be exact. in the grand scheme of things it ain't that much but i supposed personally it would reshape your entire world. hopefully things cool down soon

I did an autocross in January, one in February and then nothing until the fall; I did a track day in September, A vintage race in October and then a track day in November.
Track days for me have been kind of weird; having to actually pay the entry fee, as an instructor my entry fee was always covered, but now that we have no instructors and I now have a whole lot of down time. Normally I have a student and a novice on top of my own run group so I'm in a car 6 hours a day. It seemed odd to have an hour and a half between sessions.
While I'm bummed I am not complaining; our favorite Italian restaurant closed as they couldn't make it on take out alone and just this past week my sister in law lost her best friend to Covid.
I can tell you that in that anything outdoor activities in my area have seen a huge surge in interest.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Same here: Asheville is already an outdoorsy kind of place but every outdoor activity is massively more popular than normal. I went skiing on one of the hills near here Friday and it was packed like a pre-covid weekend.
