The Problem With Saying 'When Things Get Back To Normal' After COVID-19
How many times in the last few months have the words “When things get back to normal...” come out of your mouth?
“When things get back to normal, I’m finally using all my vacation days and taking that trip to Italy.”
“When things get back to normal, I’m never saying ‘no’ to an invite from my friends to go out on the weekends.”
Seven months into the pandemic, the refrain of “when things get back to normal” has become common. COVID fatigue is very, very real. Even as schools, movie theaters, gyms and hair salons open and some states allow indoor dining, daily life is a faint echo of what we knew it to be less than a year ago.
Pining for better days, for “getting back to normal” as soon as possible, makes sense as a coping mechanism. But is it the healthiest outlook to take, when expert after expert warns that it will be quite some time until “normalcy” ― at least as we defined it pre-pandemic ― returns?
Getting back to normal isn’t “going to be a light switch that you turn on and off,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, told Americans in the spring. Realistically, the U.S. won’t get back to something like “normalcy” until late 2021, when a vaccine for COVID-19 could be widely distributed, Fauci said in September.

2025 at the absolute esrliest. 2030 is not unrealistic to think.
Not that there's much point in living that long, but people are stubborn and stupid.

It has become a figure of speech, a cliche' perhaps but something we begin to return to starting a week from today........How many times in the last few months have the words “When things get back to normal...” come out of your mouth?

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
