We will never truly get back to normal.[/quote]

The DC area?  Probably not but the rest of the country will. [/quote]

I live in Texas.  We’ve been back to normal since last fall.  Once schools opened, most people started going to restaurants, gyms, having get togetherness, etc. Our numbers haven’t been any worse than CA’s or other locked down states.[/quote]

Compare Texas to DMV. Masks and other protocols (including vaccines) work.
Texas — 9,941 per 100,000
Virginia — 7,689 per 100,000
Maryland — 7,355 per 100,000
District of Columbia — 6,726 per 100,000

NP.  One, you didn't show CA which I assume was on purpose.

If any of us were going to have an honest conversation about any of this that isn't driven by justifying our own actions and points of view, you'd likely want to look at a whole host of measures to evaluate after the fact whether the tradeoffs made were the correct ones.  Likely people will be doing that for some years to come.  Case rates per 100,000 would just be one thing to consider.[/quote]

California: California — 9,488 per 100,000.  Better than Texas, despite LA County getting hit obscenely hard because of population density (including many people in poverty and essential workers), and many experts blamed the spread, in part, on people travelling and ignoring restrictions.  The Bay Area, by contrast, had high masking and social distancing compliance and experienced relatively few cases and death.  [/quote]
