The pandemic feels like it will never end, especially with the inclusion of the delta variant which has been wrecking more havoc all over the place. It's made me wonder, do you think masks will be required to be worn for the foreseeable future? I could totally see this keeping us in these mask protocols. What do you guys think though? Do you think we'll go back to being able to go maskless? Or do you think the future will be full of forced mask wearing?

I think we'll be in mask mandates for awhile and then it'll be personal preference. Here in FL, where the variant is the worst, masks aren't mandatory anywhere and I still wear mine. I've had too many in my family get extremely sick to not wear it.

No, not at all...I think the masks will go away in 2022.

I’ve been wearing masks from 2006 since I travel to Japan yearly. People there were masks when they feel sick and don’t want to get the people around them sick. If only American’s had some sense to understand this. I think after 2022, some people will adopt wearing masks when they feel they need them.

Yea

In Japan, anytime you are sick and have to go into a public space, you wear a mask out of common courtesy. I see nothing wrong with this. This is actually the right way to go about using masks. I know people can be sick for a few days before they show symptoms so washing your hands is important. I feel like too many people in the US don't know basic hygiene nor how to use a mask which is why they were forcing it on people. Even then, people still didn't use the masks right. Soon as you touch the outside of the mask, you are covered in germs.

Eventually people are gonna just stop wearing them and stop enforcing it. I see it now. I don’t even worry about wearing one anymore. And nobody even says anything.

Very true. I spent some time in Japan and I saw this first hand. It is so engrained in their culture, no one bats an eye

All the white neighborhoods in town don’t wear them, you’d think COVID doesn’t exist.

Easily...they will phase out soon.

That's pretty much how Florida is right now. No one says anything if you don't wear it and it's not enforced anywhere.

It is spreading but no one is dying from it which is what should be the most important thing. Like I hate when people make it about politics. We should be focused on health and if the death numbers are going down, it is good for everyone.

Yes! A lot of people using it as a way to get at Trump and it's like yoooo...I thought this was a deadly virus, lets focus on that instead of trying to bash people.

Ummmm.......no I dont think they will. I only see a small portion of folks wearing masks in my town now. And they are all old folks.

Donald Trump did try to tell people some of the things that the MSM didn't want exposed. The next election will be very interesting between Biden/Trump or whoever else the controllers want to go up against each other.

Imagine how I feel. I have to wear it for anywhere from 8 to 12 hours per day! Wrecking havoc on my sinuses.
Even taking meds isn't helping much anymore.

Do you think we'll be made to wear masks forever?
