As a virus can mutate we may never be truly 100% normal and measures like increased cleaning, distancing, hand washing and venting of rooms might have to be the new norm going forwards.

I totally agree with all you've said here. I'd like to think that we might have some sense of normality by August, but I have no real confidence of that. As you've said, if the virus mutates we could have an Autumn/Winter like this one.
My feeling is, as a country, the actions taken have been too little too late. My opinion is that unless the government is proactive, rather than reactive, this virus is going to be with us much longer than it needs to be.
And if you listen to the experts, they suggest that we can expect this sort of thing to occur much more often.
I wonder if what we regard as 'normality' will ever return.....
