As Milton said, "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program."
Officials have already hinted that masks, lockdowns, etc. will be implemented (at least seasonally) forever.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoWell, of course masks and lockdowns will be mandated if needed in the future. If there's an outbreak of a serious contagious disease then measures deemed necessary when that happens will be implemented. It's nothing sinister, just common sense and that has been the case for centuries.

And that kills these kinds of programs, unless there is a very good reason.
