True enough -

But IMHO any or all of the above will require SEVERAL MONTHS – not just a few weeks – to be accomplished.

Thankfully, both the C&TS and the D&S are in much better shape than they were in early 1969, and – like the Summer Olympics – can hopefully survive being mothballed through the 2020 season without requiring a massive effort to resuscitate either of them in 2021.
