We'll never be "there" whatever "there" means. All signs are pointing towards this becoming endemic in humans like the flu.

  I mean we said as much back in March of 2020. These lockdowns weren’t to eradicate covid. They were to intentionally slow it down to buy time to build up healthcare systems. Somehow that messaging has been lost to “if everybody did a hard lockdown, this would be over sooner” The CDC is doing a mass disservice by keeping restrictions on vaccinated people. The message they are giving is “vaccines don’t really work and even if they did it isn’t good enough”. We have oodles of proof from Israel that these vaccines are perhaps the best humans have ever created. But no... that isn’t good enough for our public health overlords. I have no clue how this all ends in lockdown states. But the overly conservative “mother knows best” public health messaging isn’t really gonna sell vaccines to people who weren’t concerned about covid. Also, the idea of being a fully vaccinated grocery store worker having to wear an uncomfortable mask for a full shift knowing full well it is only for appearances... especially when your politicians offer no suggestions when they can take it off again. That is some hot garbage.

  Where’s “Keep calm and carry on” when you actually need it.
