No, because removing restrictions or changing how we do it would compromise "safety". I put that word in quotes because it's not actual safety, it's the feeling of safety. Masks on airplanes are the same deal. There have been numerous reports that masks don't provide that much protection, airplanes have superior air filtering systems, yada yada yada. Yet the FAA will likely keep extending the mask mandate indefinitely. The masks don't make us any safer, hell they might make us less safe when you consider the number of "mask related" unruly passengers. But they provide "safety", and that's the key driver here. Really this trend can be seen everywhere. We make sacrifices as a society to feel "safe". Whether that thing we are doing is actually making us safer is irrelevant, it's all about feeling good about yourself and your "safe" decisions.
