Anyone else anxious about getting back to normal?

Everyone will need a coffin down the line!

Yes they will, but I'd prefer to not be dealing with that expense until im past 60, if possible.

'm anxious the other way - I'm sick of being restricted and I'm worried about how crazy the NTs are going to be when they're let loose. The world seems to have lost all rationality and ability to gauge true risk. They will happily get in a car (probably one of the riskiest things to do) but people are now terrified of being near each other so all social contact will be awkward and strange. I have no idea how people will date or have the courage to touch / hug / shake hands with each other. An evening in a restaurant or pub will be very weird. I can't work out why shops are open with people touching everything yet museums are closed where you can't touch things. It all seems so arbitrary and ill-thought out. The whole lack of truth and logic is frying my brain.

Im not anxious by it all.  but you have to take some precautions.  although the funny things is its like 99% of people dont give a sh*t.  You go to a shop and no one socially distances, no one has masks on, but Im not against people doing that.  If they have conducted their own risk assessment and think the risks of getting Covid are low enough to ignore all advice, then knock yourself, or maybe die.  They benefii me in the long run by removing another stupid person from the gene pool.  But dont come crying about how you got the virus and it killed your loved ones.  Anyway, not going to rant about it too much.  But NT's and other stupid people do kind of make my blood boil a touch.

I believe everywhere should be open.  That is the quickest route to herd immunity.  The vaccine will probably not happen, treament methods will probably be found that reduce mortality to a more manageable number.  But until then, unfortunately people are going to die.  That is the only way to get to herd immunity.  Not everyone will be strong enough to fight it off.  iBut thats another part of life.

As for dating, you can form a bubble with someone, but I see it just being russian roulette in terms of whether you get it or not.  Kind of like getting AIDS except the outcome of the disease is measured in months instead of years and wearing a condom makes zero difference.  But people will do it anyway.  I don't intend to put my dating life on hold indefinitely.  You just have to accept the risk.

And yes I want museums open.  I also really want gyms to reopen because that is what I miss the most.
