We assume risk every day whenever we go about our business. People will be comfortable when they perceive it is both a known and controllable risk IMO.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of room for interpretation of "completely safe" in his assessment. My 87-year-old grandfather is likely not going to be going to a Chiefs game until a vaccine is out, sure.
But for a vast majority of the population, I have to believe that we'll be able to go about life relatively normally by the fall with the exception of the areas where we truly have people crammed in like sardines (concerts, sporting events, etc.).
Masks? Sure. Temperature scans? Sure. But life has to get moving again at some point.
