I laugh when I hear that phrase - back to normalty. We are never going back to how it was. Society has been irreversibly changed now and people's entire perception of the world has been dramatically altered.
There is no future without scheduled, forced vaccinations. That is not normalty returning. That's insanity.
The people trying to return to 2019 are suffocating fish on a dock slowly dying so one can understand why they might hallucinate a bit and think things are going back to what they were and everyone will be super peachy happy at our new doubled death rate much like no one saw the end of Donnie Darko coming...
I'm inclined to agree that reality has permanently changed, and I also want to remind folks that it's OK to feel grief for what we've lost and some of the good things we used to be able to appreciate. In some ways, I think this idea of a return to normal is making it harder for us to find forward-thinking ways of mitigating risks in our public place. Most measures and redesigns seem to be temporary and not optimal.
