Ish. There's a high-strung, high-priced new normal ready to go up like a powderkeg. I don't see many people wearing masks anymore although to be honest that bit never really bothered me that much. Masks aren't the reason that the whole world falls down, it was the bit that felt more like a war where 99% of the world were pressed into the service of the old rich and now suffer enormously through inflation.
No, there will be no returning to life as it was. Some of the few good things that came out of restrictions and lockdowns are being cast aside, and some of the bad things seem to be outlasting their welcome and we have all become not only obsessed with disaster but addicted to it and will want more, and more, and more. We are also encouraged to believe our leaders are useless and to criticize everything they do without even considering possible merit or logic in their actions, and when their critics take power and then are bombarded with the same flak we head towards anarchy and mob rule. I'm as glad I don't have too much future to cope with.
