The virus is a threat we know that - but we need to get back to normality, we cannot keep going on with this constant fear, the impact upon society is just too much
I don't quite understand how the two parts of your point can be reconciled.
The virus is a threat.
If we pretend everything is normal - mix normally, everywhere; take face masks off, everywhere; attend mass gatherings, everywhere; travel, everywhere - that threat becomes greater, and therefore more scary.
A threat creates fear, and impact upon society. Pretending the threat doesn't exist does not remove the fear or the impact on society - in fact, it prevents us getting back to the normality that we all crave, because it makes the threat much larger and the impact on society that much greater.
NO country has succeeding in living a totally normal life in the face of the virus while putting absolutely no limits on people's behaviour.
In fact, the reverse - the better the controls (e.g. closed borders, rigorous test and tracing, even very draconian lockdowns far beyond what we would find acceptable at far, far lower case numbers), the more normal a life has been achievable for more extended periods of time.
