So are we just supposed to wear masks for the rest of our lives?

honestly can't say. But wearing them indoors might be the smart move insofar as RSV and winter months are concerned.

My post was not a CV19 thing - most of us are vax'd and would only get marginally sick if infected; omitting the impact of long-covid, which is a real thing to consider. WRT covid we each take our own precautions, while hoping we collectively are not straining the care-system beyond its means.

If some people want to, to reduce risk of illness, is that a concern?

Sure if they want to wear a mask that’s totally fine and a personal choice. However, going back to a full time mask mandate again would not sit well with half the population for obvious reasons.

Vaxxed or unvaccinated I highly doubt the US is gonna go back to a mask mandate. Heck even Joe Biden almost never wears his mask anymore. You do you though and I’ll gladly not wear one even though I have been vaccinated.

To be fair, Biden lives in a very controlled environment where everyone is constantly tested. They call living in the White House "living in a bubble" for good reason. Furthermore, he literally has the best healthcare of anybody in America.

True, Biden and Jill both got it. I haven't had covid, and neither has anyone in my immediate family. We're all vigilant about masking.

Yeah, and the bummer is if you wear a mask you're gonna live longer so you're gonna have to wear a mask even longer than if you didn't. They got you coming and going.
