Wrong move. This virus is not going away anymore than the flu goes away. To me it will be evidence of rank hypocrisy if mask are not mandated during flu outbreaks. After all how do we know who has the flu shot or even if that shot was for the correct strain?
Unless it is of the right material, number of layers, and fit a mask are nothing more than a talisman. A talisman that has to be properly washed and tried after each use. I would not expect that bit to be the norm.
‘To me it will be evidence of rank hypocrisy if mask are not mandated during flu outbreaks.’
good point; but the ready rejoinder to that would be ‘but we have a vaccine...’
whether it works or not matters not at all...
