Bishop: Returning to ‘normal’ is among the worst things we could do post-pandemic

While it still feels like normalcy is a long way off, given the abysmal start to COVID-19 vaccine distribution, there is finally an end to the pandemic in sight — even if it’s months down the road. The question is: What will it look like? It’s very easy to imagine a return to exactly what we had before — in-person-only school, rush-hour backups, booming business travel. And, of course, the American standard of going to work while ill (and maskless), because we need the money or have been trained to believe we’re somehow valued more by our employers when we sacrifice our health and that of others.
