Unless you’re proposing a major, permanent cultural shift so we become a people who routinely wear face masks in public, you must have a time in mind when you will acknowledge the time of mask wearing is past. When, for you, is that likely to be?

Remind me, which other respiratory illnesses in our lifetime have caused the levels of severe illness & death that covid has ?
When covid becomes endemic and correct me if I’m wrong but the last I knew we were still in a pandemic & when we have cases in the hundreds a day rather than 30,000 a day and when deaths are at the same level as winter flu then I’ll probably stop wearing a mask.
I’d suggest you’re going to be wearing them in certain situations for a while yet, flights etc.
Wearing a mask to protect others isn’t a hardship really is it
