There’s some good news from the latest round of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) social impact monitoring. The proportion of adults that felt that life will return to normal within six months increased by almost 50%, up from 22% to 32%, responding over the period 24 to 28 February 2021, based on adults in Great Britain.

The proportion of adults who felt that it will take more than a year for normality to resume decreased by almost a third (from 27% to 20%). This is a substantial change in the space of a week, and is the first time since June 2020 that more than 30% of people thought that life will return to normal within six months.
