I don’t know if I read that as pessimistic. Haun comes off as a competent, pragmatic leader to me. The situation is highly fluid, and there’s still many moving pieces to be determined, most of which are controlled by our Omnipotent Governor.

Honestly, under Phase II, there’s no reason running can’t occur Friday if social distancing and in-person limits are observed.
