Normal is back to life without social distancing.

Let's stop fooling ourselves there will be no normal to vaccine is available

Therefore mask up. Shut schools if any sign of spreading

PROTECT THE VULNERABLE.

Stop being selfish

The way we are living now is just the new normal so I’m guessing normal is whatever you make it.

Can't see life returning to normal as we knew it. I certainly can't see myself returning to my office before next year but enjoy working from home. Travelling abroad is off the cards for a while yet - too much risk. Will we ever be without masks?

Until people follow guidelines this won't go away for a long time unfortunately.

Yes, totally selfish of children and their parents to want an education. Follow the selfish brain dead scare mongerers. You know it makes sense.

I think vulnerable people should be allowed to wear masks and distance themselves from others if they choose, and everyone should respect that and accept it’s the new normal for a small minority of people. Maybe special tables in restaurants and seats on busses etc with a bit more spacing and some socially distant hours in supermarkets where capacity is reduced

A world where people stop thinking about themselves constantly and consider others. It's possible, we've seen that, it's just a shame that some revert to the "I'm alright Jack and fuck the rest of you" attitude the minute they can.

I spend more of my day NOT wearing a mask, than wearing a mask.

Desks at my work are more spread out so we’re distanced from each other but we can still talk to each other.

I don’t mind this new normal that much though I’d prefer less people in town

It's a good question. The thing is it's different for everyone. Were you to have asked the question before covid you'd have got a similarly disparate response.

Normal for some is being selfish, taking no responsibility, needing govt to do everything, dropping litter, cleaning hands, wiping surfaces, staying home when sick, work from home, look after neighbours.... Its from one end of the spectrum to the other. I think we are already in todays new normal. Tomorrow it may be different.

I'd like to hope we can all learn and be better for this awful year.

Normal is going to be different for different people.

For me,personally it's going to be,

Being very wary about who I go near,particularly avoiding those without a face covering.

Being very wary about who I allow near me,

Being very wary about what I touch,

Wearing an N95 mask in supermarkets and other indoor spaces,

Carrying hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes with me at all times, and using them whenever I have to touch anything that anyone else has touched.

Not going out much,not enjoying the carefree life that I used to,not sharing a hug with my friends.

Basically treating everyone with suspicion.

I foresee myself living in that new normality until I feel confident that the threat has passed. Even then,having become acutely aware of some people's appalling hygiene standards,I think I will continue to be very wary.

I can foresee the new normal being sadder,loneliest,less sociable and a little more fearful than the old normal.

I don't like it,it makes me sad but, I think it's just the way it has to be.

In general I try to be more in the considering others and being less selfish category. I'm just one of those people who enjoys helping others I suppose.

Perhaps my brain responds better to oxytocin than it does dopamine?

They should yes. I don't see many people really using much social distancing although I do see lots of mask wearing. Pubs have been open for ages, schools are now going back, travel is allowed but with restrictions/quarantine. People should be given the option of if they want to visit certain places. Realistically how much longer can places be made to stay closed & some people stay out of work or find another job to replace the one they've lost?

Normal is life as it was.

I want risk mitigation, testing, and population support for as long as it takes to get this under control with minimal deaths *or morbidity, death is not the only bad outcome*.

I want lessons to be learned about supporting each other, community mindedness, disease transmission, and critical thinking.

It seems to be throwing everyone to the wolves. The vulnerable are stigmatised, those who'll react badly to the virus (that we don't know about yet) will be screwed, increased illness burden.

We all want our lives back. But "just get on with it" is an outrageous suggestion.

I think for many people a return to normal means that everyone else takes the precautions that allow *them* to return to live as we knew it in December 2019.

I don't think we'll ever to back to that. Too many people have been affected in ways we haven't even dreamed of yet. The children who are starting school this week will assume that the current restrictions *are* normal. The people who've lost their livelihood can't just pick up where they left off, the people out into deep debt will take years to pay it back and that's before we've taken the deaths from covid, other illnesses that weren't treated and its side effects into account.

Had some good sex but the holiday situation has not been good and certainly isn't looking good any time soon. I just think people need to stop worying quite so much and just get on with there lives because you could shield and worry and do every thing right and then get hit by a bus... might as well enjoy life and what ever it throws at you try and have a positive outlook and just do what you enjoy. Also never watch the news .

Everyone has their own unique defined behavioural code, including and limited by their rules viewed as tolerable. Some are very risk averse generally and may have been limiting much that others view as nothing of any concern for a long time - they have perhaps changed little for months, even as the country became a healthier place.

Obviously as social animals we influence each other, so I'm guessing that there will be fluctuations on our standards, as things progress, with higher or lower levels of infection around us.

With us all being directly and indirectly influenced by public media, which tends to show a negative slant on news, we'll probably have an embedded hesitancy against what's perceived as riskier pursuits

I think that a year or so from now that there will likely still be some considerable reluctance to do much that we did before the start of 2020. We'll have norms of people sticking within the groups of people who they know, to a great extent. I think reluctance could become a fairly typical norm.
