They really don't plan to EVER get us back to normal! This is all a part of the "Great Reset" ultimately leading to the Rapture and then 7 year Tribulation Period. Now when the Rapture will be we don't know, but right now we are more than 72 1/2 years into these End Times (from the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948), and from the "parable of the fig tree" in Scripture (New and Old Testaments), we are the "generation" to see all end time events fulfilled! It all depends upon what the Lord means by "generation". I have "theories" but way too much to go into here.

P.S. Do you have your ticket to the Rapture? Micah 5:2, Psalm 22:14-18, all of Isaiah 53, John 14:6! Only through Israel's Messiah can anyone leave in the Rapture! Anyone left here after the Rapture will face a terrifying time, far worse than anytime in human history! By the way, there are MANY scriptural ways to prove that the Rapture is BEFORE the 7 year Tribulation Period (Daniel's 70th week).
P.P.S. The gentleman in the picture below (I am trying to be polite!) is wearing a mask that absolutely does not stop viruses! The phony "mask mandate" is an exercise in CONTROL, getting ready for the future mandatory "mark of the beast" (Revelation 13:16-18), without which no one will be able to buy or sell! Thankfully this will be AFTER the upcoming Rapture! By the way, the "gentleman" in the picture below is just breathing back his own carbon dioxide (not good!), and the virus can not only get to him through that mask, but also can go in through his eyes! A study was done not long ago (I lost the email link) that 82% of people who had Covid-19 were faithful mask wearers.
