Will masks become the 'new normal' even after the pandemic has passed? Some Americans say so

I will have a major problem if we're required to wear them even if we aren't sick.

What's the point of this thread? The article -and the very paragraph you quoted- says masks should be worn by people who aren't feeling well going forward.

Is there anybody on the planet who thinks this isn't a good idea?

You probably would have been the poster who complained about seatbelts being a good idea moving forward when they were invented in 1959.

Nowhere in that article does it mention a mandate or a requirement, so are you just putting your worst fears out there? And aren't most of us wearing masks right now even though we aren't sick?

It'll throw all the facial expressionist experts and Mary Kay reps out of work for sure. But, they can make solar panels, so there's that.

We really going to turn into a society where you can't see peoples' faces? Can't read their non-verbal cues? You have any idea how much communication and interaction gets lost by wearing these things?

Good thing we're not going to be wearing them forever and the China Virus is all a hoax right?? This is just fear mongering and nothing in that article even suggests that's going to happen. It just said wear a mask if you feel sick to prevent others from catching your creepy crud.

I don't see businesses, store fronts, sporting events, concerts, schools etc. stopping mask requirements. Ever.

"You don't know if you're carrying something, even if you feel fine".

That's why.

"What we are also trying to do is make our health and medical experts available to ensure people understand and I'll reiterate it here today it's not just a vaccine," Psaki said Thursday at a press conference.

"It's obviously an incredible medical breakthrough and we want every American to have one, but even after you're vaccinated, social distancing [and] wearing masks is going to be essential and we'll need to continue communicating about that through health and medical experts."

You shouldn't be in public if you aren't well.

Some of Y'all don't know the game we're playing here:

The first businesses next year that try to unmask will be met with accusations and cancel culture mobs that they're endangering the public.

Don't be shocked when private companies still require masks after COVID hysteria. Normalization is a real process.

Don't be naive.

I go out alot now and don't wear one. In fact, in the city in which I reside, there's a lot of non-masking. I'm okay with it.

If I wear a mask and I see someone not wearing one, guess what I do? Not a dang thing..I mind my own business.

I have found masks to be very beneficial to my health . I get out of my truck , get to the front of a store and realize I forgot my mask . I then have to go back to my truck to get my mask . I am getting a lot more steps in during the day . Great for my health .

In the first 100 days of my administration, we will:
- Ask all Americans to mask up
- Administer 100 million vaccine shots
- Get most schools back open
We're going to contain the virus and get back to our lives.

Joe Biden - Dec 22

White House: Our goal is to have 50 percent of schools open by April 30, 2021 "at least one day per week"

I think I'm in bounds because fear and compliance are very powerful tools.

Even if 70% of the population is vaccinated, the argument becomes that for every 10 people vaccinated, three will remain as susceptible as they were before they were vaccinated. That's enough fear for businesses to keep their mask requirements going IMO. We will also have future COVID spikes, just like Flu.

Or like I mentioned earlier, media and scared people will hound any business that take the first step in unmasking. Companies will bend the knee to accusations that they're endangering the public.

The narrative may shift to "we need to adopt masks in our daily lives in the event of future pandemics", or "you may not be sick but still carrying the virus, mask up before entering our store".

Where is all this shutdown stuff at that they are talking about? Here in TX everything I know of and deal with seems to be open and running. My grand kids have gone to school since day one and I've gone to their ballgames etc etc. Even the bars that they picked on so unmercifully just got a hot dog and hamburger license and now they are operating "safely". In the last few months I have been in AR, OK,IA, MO, & KS and it all seems to be wide open there too. Evidently they are talking about New York and California. Those folks seem the think the rest of the world should do exactly as they do.

And for all you mask advocates, if you really think that when I walk up to Chilis or Applebees and I put a mask on at the door and I walk 8 to 10 steps to my table and then pull the mask off and set there for an hour and a half that I have actually prevented covid..?.?......well you need to swallow at least one more smart pill.

Are you serious Clark? You don't think the way we have been doing school, business and restaurants the last year has been an inconvenience?

Wow.
