And if we DON'T get a vaccine? Remember, they tried for years to get a vaccine for AIDS and never succeeded.
Then you put on a mask when you go outside just like men put on a condom before they get down to business!
If every single person that you encounter is fine with you maskless then by all means don't have to wear one. Just like if the girl is fine with you not wearing a condom, then you can skip that step. But until then, wear a mask.

Anyone that ignores the safety guideline before we have a vaccine is putting everyone at risk.

So you're openly suggesting, that we may be wearing masks indefinitely? OK, then I'm going to openly suggest, that I'd rather see humanity go outright extinct.
224,000? Oh, no! That's almost as many people whom die each and every year at the hands of healthcare workers who mess up!
To put this in perspective:
In 2016, there were about 111 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among US adults. About 1 million were arrested while driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. Of the traffic-related fatalities in 2016, 10,497 deaths were attributed to alcohol-impaired driving. https://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafe...factsheet.html
In 2020, the first case of coronavirus was documented in January. Six months later, the virus has resulted in more than 130,000 deaths and the numbers continue to climb.
Every state has a law against drunk driving. We don’t tell pedestrians and drivers to stay home and never go out if they are afraid of drunk drivers. We regulate behavior behind the wheels. And that’s 10,497 deaths in one year.
With the coronavirus, we have already seen more than 10X that figure in half the time. There is a very simple tool - a mask - that people can put on that has shown effectiveness in limiting the transmissibility of the virus. And here you are whining about your freedom to hurt other people? Get over yourself.
Don’t drink and drive, and put on a damn mask when in public.

You should have to wear a helmet and nomex suit when driving too! You know, just in case!
Why believe the numbers? Covid 19 is the number one cause of head trauma deaths.
