[quote=Anonymous]The 1918 flu infected a third of the world's population and killed 17-50 million people.  Some islands went into quarantine.  Schools, theaters, and churches were closed.  Parades were canceled.  Masks were mandated.

It was followed by the Roaring Twenties.

The idea that the way things are is the way they will be FOREVER is arrogant and silly.  It is, frankly, insane to think that governments are going to insist that everyone wear a mask *forever,* that restaurants and schools stay closed *forever,* in the absence of an actual pandemic.  There's no benefit to the government, in the absence of a public health emergency, to have those restrictions in place.   Governments would LOVE to lift those restrictions.  If anything, they are in too much of a hurry to lift those restrictions.  Some things will likely be altered, whether by law or by social practice, but neither you nor I nor anyone can be sure what those things are.  It is not, however, the case that your six-year-old will never be able to travel or hug anyone every again.
