the only way to get back to normal life is to have zero cases ("extinguish the virus") or achieve herd immunity. there is no in between, no middle ground
normal life = normal gatherings, normal no-masks at dance clubs, bars etc etc, schools functioning normally, offices functioning normally
look at how HKG did with trying to reopen with a few "unlinked" cases, a dance club "normal activity" seeded another exponential progression
Going to a dance club, gym, restaurant, bars etc are all normal. We won't ever have a normal life until we have vaccine if the goal is 0 infections. We already had 0 cases in between, now we don't. Apparently because people went back to their "normal" lives. If you look at the graph, daily infections are already down and that without the government restrictions having started.

Thailand, apart from the unrelated protests, is pretty much BAU at the moment too.
I don't usually praise the mainland but looking at WeChat, my associates in Shenzhen are living a pretty normal life these days too.
I can’t figure out if the new regulations prohibit social gatherings in your own apartment. Junks are not on but at home?
I'm sure everyone working in the tourist industry appreciates that you can live your life without mainland tourists and that life is normal in Taiwan.
