Social Isolation is not the entire issue, "social caution" is. Life will never get back to "normal" until there is a universally available vaccine and/or treatment for the virus. The 1918 flu took four years before it died away, but they did not have the extensive medical science that exists today. If we are fortunate, we may have something by next year. Until then, we just have to get used to a new way of living (like wearing a mask); something Americans are usually too selfish to adjust to.
