What I fear is they will demand masks and social distancing to protect against the common cold. People will treat a little sniffle as a major nuisance and welcome the continuation of the COVID-19 policies. Those who manufacture all those PPEs will make sure pockets are lined to keep them making the easy money.
They aren't making much from me. I am still on my first 10 pack of surgical masks I bought last April. I steam clean them for about 10 minutes or so after making shopping runs.
The corona virus "pandemic" is only the foundation. They will continue to build on it until the walls are built and the roof is finished.
They will use the health mandates of the covid rules, such as masks, social distancing, lockdowns, anti-crowd associations, etc., to make these things a permanent part of our culture and society. If one mask is good, more masks are better, and so forth.
There will be a certain portion of the country who will continue to wear masks into the future no matter what. They are the ones who have taken the bait and been indoctrinated enough, that they themselves will insist that what they are doing is for the good of the community. They won't require blue state governors to tell them to wear them anymore. They will do it on their own.
We will call them the Fellowship of the Masks cult or sect. Their membership rolls will be full of Karens and Kens who will continue to harrass the rest of the population into wearing masks again.... or else.
