As in, at least relative normality.
With the news of the Oxford vaccine being approved, when do you now estimate the return of normality? |

Not really until 2022 but I reckon August/September time will be almost normality with holidays taking place and nightlife reopening with small measures. Then as autumn/winter hits even with the vaccine it’ll get a little worse than Aug/Sept cause of anti vaxxers dragging others down

I’d like to think some normality will return by the summer, but then again there are a lot of ****ing idiots around right now.
Just saw on fb that Nicola is making some announcement today and one of the replies was “**** her, I’ll do the exact opposite of what she says” That’s the kind of stupidity we’re up against

When the vaccine has been fully rolled out, we'll probably get lulled into a false sense of security again in summer when the virus is dormant in the main so it will be next autumn at least before we know how successful the efforts have been.
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.

What are 'the people' going to do?...
Congregate without masks spreading it far and wide like they've been doing all year?.. pfft morons. I'm not one for draconian measures but these gatherings are a public health risk, fine them massively! If you want to spout your conspiracy theories go home and do it on the Internet! !

Soon as all the vulnerable people have been vaccinated it will be back to normal as young healthy people are super low risk

Something resembling normailty - at least 2022.
Exactly as things were pre-2020... never, or at the very least, decades. |

The knock-on effects, on the economy, on mental health, on things like tourism and international travel as well as how businesses operate in general will be even bigger in scope and will likely never fully revert. Not all necessarily in bad ways I suppose; e.g. there has been a massive shift to doing business digitally out of necessity that I think will persist to an extent simply because it saves so much money, but also, people travelling less for business (especially international business) and opting to do business via video link etc. is a huge win for the environment. People will still travel, but any reduction in road & air travel is a bonus. |

When I said things will never go back to how they were before I didn't mean "misery forever" - just that things like this create changes that never go back. Good/bad/who knows but it won't snap back to "the same". Do you think the post-WW2 world snapped back to the 1930's? No... it changed the direction of politics and society forever in various ways. Some for worse, some for better. Big things result in big changes, you can't wish that away. It'll never be 2019 again. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 30-12-2020 at 12:43 PM. |

3.000 compared to 53.000 at least Koreans are immediately on high alert when there is even small amounts (compared to ours) what they see as a huge increase they also had a long time without cases, this is just beginning of second wave for them |
