“Help us understand that now that you’ve seen new things that have happened since you made the decision, help us understand why and when there’s going to be a season,” Scott said. “Help us understand why Thanksgiving or November is better January. Help us understand why November is better than October. Help us understand, yes or no, will COVID be around in one year? Two years? COVID is not going to be eradicated tomorrow. We always say we going to live with a new normal. Well, guess what? We are living in a new normal.

“It’s disrespectful. It’s hurtful,” Scott said. “Help us understand.”
