One writer asked that very question, and comes up with it all gets bad this winter.
"“There really is no easy way to socialize during late fall [and] winter in large parts of the country if you're not doing it outside,” Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told me. “Could I have people over in my house for two hours on a Sunday morning in December? Barring really good testing, probably not.”
With a combination of no real good plan for testing, cold weather, and the coming holidays, mixed with Americans desperate need to socialize, and some are seeing a nightmare scenario blowing up, at the peak of Flu season, basically January 1.
From "the Atlantic"
The Winter Will Be Worse
When socializing outside gets harder in much of the U.S., daily life will get more dismal, and the virus might spread even further.

Re: We Are Screwed - What About The Winter?
I wish I coud be more optimistic, but I really can't.
Assuming Trump loses, we are not even halfway through his portion of the pandemic.
It's been almost five months since the first lockdown.....Trump won't be gone for another 5.5 months.
Hopefully the Biden team will have some sort of rational testing plan, but that will take time to get into place.
In the meantime, many schools across the state and nation will be open, families will have holiday gatherings, and NFL games will have crowds of 10-20 thousand people.
