i hardly ever wear a mask. have not much through this whole thing. certain rare situations absolutely. I also dont take ivermectin. id wear a mask long before horse dewormer. but dewormer might be worth a shot in certain situations. vaccine seems easier, more efficient on my end and more effective.
I know masks work and have been used for a long time. not a matter "how long will we use them" They will be a tool forever and have been forever as far as I know. And, they have gotten much better over the last 50 years! Using them right is another matter. look to the japanese and taiwanese on that matter as they have more experience with hygiene and self and community care in crowded conditions. .
maybe keep track of the hospital capacity and stress level and virus level to make that decision. I absolutely think that the maskers are way over the top in their masking and thays because its become a political thing, like a political badge. as opposed to a common sense thing. and people have just escalated it. doesnt mean they shouldnt be a practical tool.
