it’s honestly like these people get excited from contemplating a “huge” spike[/quote]

There is a difference between giving a warning and getting "excited."

If you don't already have long covid, and don't want to mask, fine. Go for it. [/quote]

We don't want mandates coming back because of those who want to mask and, most importantly, can't wait to force everyone to mask again.  In some places mandates already restarted.  The idea that we will continue living like this with masking and possibly lockdown waves every now and then and all the division and friction among people doesn't make me happy.  If it makes you happy, you are a sociopath.  We know that this virus isn't going away, it's a merry-go-round thing.  Masking and lockdowns didn't stop it even in places implementing most draconian measures.  And it's not about personal protection, this has been always available to everyone who wanted.  Some continued wearing masks and never stopped, they were not unicorns. 
 and nobody really cared about this until the usual "recommendations" that lead to mandates in some places first (already started) and then spread like cancer all over, into every classroom, office, store, public transit, etc.   [/quote]

Places like medical facilities and schools should be masking.  Especially large schools here when this is highly contagious and there is no way to distance.[/quote]

Precisely proving my point.  As long as there is enough of sentiment that masks are for protecting others and we need to forever do this in some facilities, they may come back.  In this case, PP will be overjoyed while majority of people frustrated and maybe even angry (especially when it comes to kids). Division will once again set it, and animosity will prevail public places.  Great times ahead , especially since we already know it will not do a thing to stop this virus and it will be upon us again a few months later.  And then it may open the doors again to booster mandates, more colleges starting these again, although luckily it's not a terribly popular approach.

Masks are not, and never have been “to protect others.”  If that were the case, te people in charge of such things would have been routing the most effective masks to the most contagious people back when the disease was at its height. They didn’t do that. They diverted and hoarded the most effective protection for themselves and their cronies and left everybody else to fend for themselves with useless makeshift substitutes.

IKR? How selfish of those healthcare workers to want N95s when they were treating covid patients.[/quote]

You’ve completely misread my post.

The point is not that health care workers got good masks (although the levels of inequity in the distribution of those were appalling), it is that if masks were to protect others, the infectious people would’ve gotten them.

Preferring health care workers exposed to possible infection demonstrates that the people in power knew all along that masks are to protect the wearer, not other people. [/quote]
