Honest question here open to all opinions.

When does the pandemic become part of our normal lives? Let's take the flu for instance. We live with it now, take precautions where possible but still catch it. I'm not putting it down or saying it is good or bad to meet,thsts ppls business.

As soon as we decide to stop letting people terrify us into submission....

I guess you mean covid-19 rather than the pandemic. It's more likely to become part of our lives than be eradicated, but when depends on various factors such as vaccine availability and efficacy; potential herd immunity and the survival of a dominant less aggressive strain of the virus.

I'm sure there are other factors I haven't thought of.

Like flu - when we have a jab for it.

It's not going to disappear, so it already is. Like many things, we'll carry on and adjust our lives progressively. It's probably going to diminish its prominence and importance, though we're still uncertain how things are going to progress

Agreed with that, common sense seems not to apply to modern living.

It always amuses me the belief that WE have common sense but THEY do not. We all do stupid things at one time or another and sometimes we learn from them.

We look at young people and think 'you idiots have no common sense' they look back at us with the amount we drink and think 'are you old people stupid, don't you know drinking that much is killing you?'

Problem is that 'common sense' is measured in the eye of the beholder.

There are people who think that they have oodles of common sense, but others would wonder how they manage to cross the road without supervision.

It already is part of our normal lives. What is normal is constantly changing.

It's normal for me to open an app on my phone, get on the internet and have pretty much all the knowledge in the world at my fingertips. That wasn't normal 10 years ago.

It wasn't until about 10 years ago it became possible for me to be able to download a film from the internet via broadband, now it's normal to stream any one of thousands of films instantly on any number of devices.

50 years ago it was normal to consider cancer a death sentence, now it's normal for people to survive.

Normal doesn't remain the same, the world moves on whether you want it to or not.

I agree. There seems to be a lot of finger pointing and virtue signalling around this situation. People also seem to want everyone else to confirm to a set of rules so that they can get back to a normal life. It seems to me that people think there's a choice, we either all adjust according to the regulations and our individual vulnerability or we require the unspecified "them" to adjust so that "we" can get on with our lives. I suspect the reality is that all of us are going to have to accept some inconvenience even though we don't want to
