Going back to normal and stopping the theater.

Everyone wants this. We should do it slowly, but we should do it.

In the US, omnicron is going fast. Hopefully, and I say this with week old information in a huge information-differential environment that evolves hourly, omnicron itself is a step towards mitigation.

Define normal.

No mandates.

No vaccine passbooks or apps.

Return jobs to employees lost because of vaccine compliance/rebuild small businesses (If this is somehow possible but the damage is already done).

No mask requirements.

Covid-19 Vaccines are available and treated in the same way as flu vaccines once FDA approved.

Yknow, normal.

IIRC, this is a well known rhetoric technique: flood the opponent with irrelevant facts, so he doesnt have time to refute them all. But that's for in person debates, with finite time to respond.

This is one of the worst nitpicks I've ever seen in my life. "Normal" implies removing all virus related mandates and restrictions. It's obvious what gp meant
