Well this should be an interesting experiment. We'll see how well it works. The key factor is how soon large, crowded venues will be allowed, and how well they do at resisting virus spread.
We have already reached that point. The mask wearers now got vaccinated and want to force everyone else to be vaccinated: for the greater good. Kids, your workplace, venues segregating people based on vaccination status etc.
The government couldn't do this without widespread public support. And they couldn't get widespread public support without instilling fear. And this fear came in part because every time you stepped out of your home, you saw people in masks. In the fearful, that without a doubt increased their anxiety.
It's the optic of seeing others wear masks that the gov wants. Without that optic no one would care. So the gov wants to continue that optic. Thus, the gov will never say everyone can stop wearing masks.
Also, if you can remove your masks if vaccinated for the coronavirus, what about the yearly flu? It's ok now to spread the flu around?
That's what Fauci told Congress and when asked.."how many cases is low enough"...would not answer.
It was all supposed to be about flattening the curve.
Now it's about eradicating it via vaccination which will never happen IMO.
I never heard anybody say anything about eradicating...I understood it always to be about flattening the curve.....which we have struggled with -- look at those charts from 2020 and early 2021......we seem to be well on our way though.

Was there a new statement?
The goal posts keep moving or haven't you noticed ?

That's how you FEEL...I don't get that feeling.
And now we are just looking for ways to bicker it seems.
The flu, the virus will never be eradicated but we have figured out some basic ways to mitigate it.
Maybe the washing hands, allowing for more space during flu season will seep into our culture.
Maybe people will stay home when they don't feel well. We've all been to that family function, party, get together, work where someone says -- I feel like such crap -- think I'm fighting the flu. Then what the heck are they doing there -- lol.

Yep. They sure have. It went from keeping hospitals to becoming overwhelmed to trying to prevent any cases. It’s totally unrealistic.
