How much longer will it probably take to recover from the pandemic and will any of the late 2020s be worth living in?

So 2010s people had more energy. Things were happy. Then in 2020, COVID happened. We all know that. Then after the pandemic ended in 2023 most things didn’t come back to normal. It’s almost 2025 and things aren’t high energy still. Everyone is still isolated and tired and angry. It’s very depressing and a lot of damage has been done to a lot of people. Homelessness has skyrocketed and the job market has gone to shit. We have no economy. No one socializes anymore. Meetups and in person work is dying.

Can this be fixed or will it ever go away? What’s your opinion on the matter? Will 2026 onward be just as shitty?
