I don't watch the news.
Are we going back to normal, no mask life this year?

Makes no difference to me, I don't live in America brah, but if you seriously think the chit they are advocating for like keep schools closed indefinitely and triple masking are legitimate defenses against a virus with a 99.7% survival rate, I've got some bad news for you. It's a political tool, plain and simple.
Russia has been almost 100% open for this entire "pandemic" with absolutely no issues. Some places require masks, but no social distancing of any kind. I know people who've gotten it-- hell, I've probably gotten it. It's not that bad and it's certainly not going to magically just go away because some solipsistic Italian manlet tells you his incoherent and ever-changing plan to combat the coof.
Fauci just likes the limelight and this is his chance to shine after a lifetime as an unappreciated nerd who works for the government.

The reason he's getting singled out is because he is a phucking immunologist who works for the NIH and has absolutely no reason to be on the cover of InStyle magazine, appearing on the news 20 times a week, or commenting on partisan politics as he has repeatedly done.
For phucks sake he was snickering behind the president's back on live television like a teenage girl.
And yet he continues to use a "global pandemic" as his cause célèbre to enhance his own personal brand and browbeat anyone who thinks that maybe a year and a half is long enough of this bullchit and that individual states should be able to manage their own health policy instead of the federal government forcing Florida (which has been open for 6+ months) to bailout California (just lol) via bailout checks and relief plans.
He is a massive ******* brah. He should be broken on the wheel.

In his defense what the former "president" (domestic terrorist and treasonist is what I think you mean) said was so ridiculously stupid that anyone would have laughed. He actually played it pretty straight. I would have just burst out laughing and then beaten the chit out of Trump for being such an idiot. Fauci has a remarkable amount of self control.
I've never heard of instyle magazine, but if ppl offered to put u on a magazine, ud probably agree too. Give the guy a break.

Fauci has said that people who are fully vaccinated can hang out amongst each other normally, without masks and social distancing and such. I'm really interested to see how some groups and communities take advantage of that.
Imagine, for instance, a bunch of vaccinated geezers renting out an entire bar or club or dinner theater and getting sloppy in public for the first time in a year. Or a small well educated city achieving herd immunity months before the rest of the state and dropping all mask/social distancing while keeping out the unvaxxed riffraff/Trumpers.Heterologously Vaccinated Superior Race Crew

Well, in some respects it appears to depend upon the old adage, don't less a crisis go to waste. A crisis can can result in big rewards.
The likely soon to be passed 1.9 trillion dollar "stimulus" bill is looking to be a large payoff or reward to Democrat supporters. That is coming about due to the lockdowns.
The Democrats have signaled they want another "stimulus" after this one, another trillion dollars for green projects.
As many have said more stimulus, or large stimulus is not needed at this time. The economy has already largely rebounded back to where it was before the COVID virus by many measures, due to earlier stimulus spending under President Trump. Some on that can be read about here ~

So i can imagine the lockdowns will continue for awhile longer, despite the improving virus issue, greater vaccinations. Another way to look at it, as I read this morning, the problem is that the problem solvers benefit from the problem.
"Fauci and the Danger of Problem Solvers Who Benefit From the Problem"
https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2...el-greenfield/
One of the fundamental problems with the liberal technocracy is that it envisions tackling problems by putting experts in charge of them. The approach gets at the cultural divide in the country between those who worship the expert class, usually college-educated upper-middle-class urbanites, and the rest of the country. And it contains within it two flawed assumptions. The first flawed assumption is that certified experts know how to solve problems.
The second is that they want to solve them.
Take Fauci and the pandemic. An obscure careerist was suddenly vaulted into a cult of personality and constant television appearances. It wasn't a unique phenomenon with the point men for the pandemic becoming celebrities in different countries.
There are Fauci masks, dolls, and action figures. Does Fauci actually have an interest in returning to normalcy, a normalcy in which he's an obscure figure at whose whim economies, presidents, celebrities, and industries don't leap?
Obviously not.
That's not necessarily a dealbreaker. Generals lose a lot of their relevance when a war ends. People pay a lot less attention to firefighters when there isn't a fire. Any field in which your importance is proportionate to a crisis still has plenty of people who do their jobs well. But in government, the expert class is known for perpetuating problems that invest them with the power to solve them. And, especially in the social sphere, those problems never go away.
Fauci's advice has been light on the science and heavy on the social elements. And that's just how the Left likes its crises. A crisis which can be solved using the fruits of actual science is of much less interest than a perpetual crisis that lingers as a social problem with social solutions that never work.
Telling everyone to wear masks forever is the equivalent of treating mentally ill vagrants abusing drugs as a permanent homeless problem that can only be solved by fundamentally transforming the economy.
That's the danger of turning to problem solvers who benefit from perpetuating the problem.
