Social distancing is unlikely to be here to stay. Covid has been around less than 2 years, yet developed countries are mostly vaccinated with vaccines that cut incidence rates for severe disease by 90%, sometimes more. Even countries like Thailand are advancing rapidly with vaccination programmes.
Drug companies are developing treatments to improve matters for the remaining 10%.
Restrictions are already abolished in some countries.
