The logistics of vaccinating the world population mean it will take a long time to achieve also there will always be a large number of those who refuse vaccination allowing pockets of the virus to exist .
I see no return to the kind of 'normality' we once had for the foreseeable future.
I agree.
I fear our lives may have changed for good now.
Even if we got rid of it here, with air travel continuing, it will always come back.

Perhaps the days of cheap air travel are gone for a few years to come.

Glad I didn't.

Air fares don't bother me Bruce, I have never been a traveller. There are places here I would prefer to see.
Last time I went abroad was in 1966.

Re: Will Life Ever Go Back To Normal
I guess that it will take a lot longer than we all hope.If there was a vaccine, would families refuse the injection because they fear it will harm them & theirs.
Will people refuse to fill in the name tracing sheets, at the local club, because their human rights of confidentiality might be affected?
Will those infected do what's necessary to avoid infecting others?
Will employers demand the return to work of those who must use trains & buses, etc, to get there?
Lots of Ifs & Buts.
