It really really depends on where you are. E.g. in my country it's almost like "normal". But that's not what you think. People just don't follow restrictions, people don't wear masks, abuse vaccination (simply skip or even buy fake vaccination certificate to fulfill government / employer requirements). The only difference from "normal" is increased workload on hospitals and daily news "over thousand people died today from covid-19".

When it's absolutely unbearable for healthcare system, government also introduces soft lockdown where restaurants / cafes / public places are closed. Then everything goes back to "normal".

I really don't see how it can be 100% normal next year. At least in here.
