The Other Side of COVID-19 Pt. 2: When are we going back to normal?
One question that was on the minds of many, especially during the beginning of this pandemic is when will we go back to normal? When will we be able to resume our lives without masks, social distancing, and the ever-present fear of catching COVID-19? This question has seemed to almost fade to the background as weeks turned into months, and there was, and still is an idea of a new normal or a COVID normal. In this video, I examine the shifting goalposts throughout the pandemic, and whether or not we will truly go back to normal.
