I think we're going to be back to "normal" sooner than many people here seem to think. Vaccine distribution in the global north will be faster than in the global south so depending on where people live it will occur in different time frames. I don't think we'll ever reach a point where semi-lockdowns and no gatherings is considered normal, humanity has encountered epidemic diseases before and while they seem to be all encompassing and society altering in the midst of it, society at large will return to its previous state within a few years. You will see some changes as a result from this, for example after the plague labour was in much higher demand and shorter supply which altered the serfdom/worker system in Western Europe. But we won't be seeing a change where bars/clubs/other gatherings are completely closed forever, because it's unfavourable for both the average person and the government/capitalists.
