You do know that this will end, right? The Black Plague ended and they didn't even have antibiotics back then (heck, they didn't even have proper handwashing back then :-) ).

Yes, there will probably be some changes compared to life before Covid, but by and large normal activities such socializing, in developed countries, will be back to regular levels once we've vaccinated enough people. Which should be by mid-2022 at the latest.

Of course, if people refuse to be vaccinated, they're only prolonging this hell. Can't have both personal freedom and lack of personal responsibility, democracy doesn't work like that.

People yelling about what others need to do are prolonging this hell.

Gently telling others what they need to do doesn't seem to be working, either.

I'm convinced that a certain percentage of the population just doesn't give a crap about others. Hard to say the exact percentage, but something over 10% feels like a safe bet.
