Depends on where you live. Covid-wise we've already returned to normal where I live, for almost 10 months now.

You see a weathered "Masks obligatory" sign on some out-of-town industrial complexes with a little virus clipart that they forgot to take down; you see some plexiglass remaining in front of the cashiers in some stores because taking them down means paying someone to do so; you see the occasional "2m distance" stickers on the floor of some buildings where nobody bothered to remove them.

But nobody talks about covid and more importantly, nobody cares about covid here anymore. Nobody dies from it either.

People really judge their year based on events like this?

I've always judged my years based on how much time I've managed to spend on the things I love doing, how my relationships have grown or deteriorated, new experiences good or bad, how much stress I've faced, how much I've grown as a person or managed to stay in touch with the people I care about.

Things like the war in Ukraine (despite being two countries over), climate change, the political climate of the US are just things I see on the internet that I know are bad but they don't affect my personal life in any way.
