How might we be expected to go "back to normal" now?
Honestly, it seems like we had a good chance of it going into summer. Decent vaccination rates were enough to almost eliminate COVID within our borders, but then of course Delta spread and now it looks like we need at least 80% of the entire population vaccinated to suppress it.

Biden ran on a return to normalcy, and who can blame him, since the message "we opened Pandora's box and there's no closing it" is not exactly incentive to vote for anybody. But almost a year into the presidency it's probably the truth.
The painful truth is that Biden only has so many powers as President, and the rest of the society will have to do some heavy-lifting on "normal." It's ultimately up to all of us how much we tolerate anti-vaxxers, the Q crowd, domestic terrorism, etc.

Are we all up to the task?
