The primary goal is to not contract covid-19.
- weezin 5y agoSo what is an appropriate amount of cases to go back to normal?
- sacomo 5y agoPersonally I will keep wearing a mask around other people until we eradicate it or find a 100% preventive vaccine. So decades for me.
- nradov 5y agoWere you wearing a mask in 2019? Because influenza killed thousands of people that year, and we didn't have a 100% preventative vaccine.

- dham 5y agoThat's your choice but note that your choice is not based in science or statistics. Statistically if you're vaccinated you will not die. You won't even get severe Covid. That's even if you get Covid in the first place which would be very hard. If you want to wear a mask as a fashion statement or virtue signaling then that's fine.
- samatman 5y agoHypochondria is a mental illness. It's ok to get help. I'm not mocking you. It's been a traumatic year for all of us.
- ineedasername 5y agoConsidering the vaccine now makes it less likely to die from Covid if infected than the flu, were you wearing a mask for decades before Covid too?
- kelnos 5y agoI strongly suspect we are being trolled at this point.
- kelnos 5y agoThat may be your goal, but that is not the goal of public health policy. If complete eradication was the goal, we would be wearing masks, social distancing, and requiring businesses to operate at lower capacity for many, many years to come. That is just not an acceptable state of life for the vast majority of people in the US. You may not agree with that, but that's just how things are.
