Full face shields or even full body suits probably won't be out of the question eventually
Every time someone (anyone) says something, you react like the world is coming to an end.

That's why I won't eat indoors at a restaurant. Even though the fear mongers want you to think we'll be wearing masks forever, I bet things will really ease up once the vaccine is available. At that point, the most vulnerable will be better protected and the kiddies who think they won't get it can go out and party! (Well, they shouldn't but the results won't be so bad as they would have once the most vulnerable are protected by a vaccine and there are better treatments.)
When mask mandates are imposed without sunset dates (with the possibility of renewal if circumstances warrant) or explicitly defined criteria for repeal, it's not fear-mongering to be concerned about those mandates becoming eternal or recurring every flu season. If they're really going to be temporary, let's make that as clear as possible and allay some of the concerns.

Long before Trump was President, and nobody is a bigger friend of China than the guy running against Trump.

If the mask thing bugs you, Biden is far more culpable for the current mask manufacturing environment being the way it is.

At the rate this is going, we'll all be wearing astronaut suits by November.

Now that you know the stupid masks do nothing for you, (as I repeatedly said), will you start getting the hell back from people? You don't need to be up in their space. Even if you get an N95 mask, stay the hell out of my space.
Summer is winding down, and Halloween is coming.
Time to put on my Darth Vader mask and wear a cloth mask underneath it.
No one cares if I walk around as Darth Vader (the mask has a microphone and it talks and chants also)

The CDC has no credibility any more. It is nothing but a propaganda tool of Trump.

People like me with asthma and other breathing problems definitely cannot wear N95 masks. They used to even put a warning on them about such a thing.

When 50-70% of the population are inoculated with an effective vaccine.

Good luck with that.

Maybe Trump, Melania, Barron, 4 adult children, theor spouses/ partners and All grandchildren can all be vaccinated on live TV with an independently verified vaccine.

Set the tone at the top.

Set the tone or not it would take Jenny McCarthy to get the anti's.
