Are we ever going to get back the "normal life" we had before covid?

By "normal life" i mean things like
>Being able to gather and meet friends without worry
>No enforced 6 feet distancing
>Able to go to bars, pubs and restaurants with zero social distancing measures enforced
>Businesses at 100% capacity
>Cinemas fully open
>Concerts and festivals back to 100% normal

Will this ever be possible? Because I am seeing so much talk from health officials, doctors, scientists, politicians and journalists alike that suggests we are never going to get things back, that permanent social distancing is going to become the "new normal" as they say literally forever. I can't live like that forever, it sounds like a totally joyless society where all we are permitted to do is go to work all day, then skitter back home and watch our government-approved netflix series.

Can you give me any reassurance, /sci/?
