[quote=Anonymous]Fall?  If I had to bet, I'd bet no masks by fall, or at least optional.  But it is really hard to predict - practically eons away in pandemic terms.  9 months ago vaccines were just getting to be widespread, and I probably would have made the same bet (and been wrong).

Here is why I think no masks, unless something surprising happens: 
1) < 5 vaccines will be available, so those that really are waiting on those will have them.  There is not another goal post.
2) COVID will be endemic and also effective antiviral treatment should have scaled up to a reasonable level
3) maybe the pan-COVID vaccines will have progressed???

If some new variant comes along that is severe (or more) as COVID Classic. and gets around our vaccines, my bet likely would be wrong.  Or politicians could just choose to accept the excess death and hospital chaos, which seems like a plausible decision.  Or they could have masking, but fall in line with WHO for kid masking.  It is really hard to guess.[/quote]
