Stepping away from the current situation, am I far off by seeing the underlying sentiment being akin to the “good old days” type view some have of the past? At it’s core it seems the view is that the old status quo is what defined a better “normal” than what we see as part of the required changes.
For example, just how terrible would it be that masks become a normal wardrobe item and soon becomes integrated into overall fashion designs?
Dining and bars stop being open areas where we all share the same space and air and turn into smaller, private spaces—be they for groups of not more than X for dining and perhaps even individual or much smaller for bar “stool” settings? Infrastructure changes to allow either the larger space to function as a bar setting for a larger group and the individual bar units include the ability to directly video chat with anyone at the bad—so you can effective watch the big game together. Is that really a worse new normal that the prior one?
Or are you just thinking of the transition period to something that gets everyone back to what they would say is the equivalent of the old “norm”?
