How normal do we really expect it to be? It's moving in the right direction hopefully.
It doesn’t really feel like it’s moving at all in a lot of things, though. My local library for example is operating under exactly the same conditions it was at before we went beyond level 0. Can sing in church but only with masks on, same as before. Still haven’t seen the room my youngest is in at nursery and was sort of hoping to at some point but no, can’t do that either. And so on and so on for loads of things, with no sign at all of when that might ever change.
As for how normal I’d expect things to be: well, I do believe that restrictions like this on people’s day-to-day lives should not be kept in place a moment longer than strictly necessary. And I appreciate this isn’t everyone’s view but it is, at least nominally, our government’s view as well. So once we have rolled out as many vaccines as we have, and the virus is in no danger of overwhelming the NHS any more, I would like things to be a fair bit normal-er than they currently are.
