I personally go out a heck of a lot less with these insane mask mandates. I hate wearing a mask.

Plus many of these people arguing to keep them around forever forget that actual living humans work at these businesses. It takes a lot of privilege to suggest employees should continue wearing masks forever to make a small set of extremely fearful customers feel "safe". I bet 99% of the "pro mask" people on are not in a place requiring them to wear a mask 40 hours a week.

Try having a 3 year old child with a speech impediment that has to wear a mask in childcare for 6 hours a day. Does wonders for their ability to communicate.

This may be a simple answer to a simple question - but it doesn't.
