I think an awful lot of people will continue to wear masks for a multitude of reasons. Like Zaph there will be those whose health dictates it.
I think some people like them because they provide a sort of comfort blanket, a way to hide themselves. Then there is the comfort provided against contracting Covid, a sort of psychological shield made in to a piece of cloth.
I also wonder about the power of being part of something, everyone in it together wearing a uniform that symbolises that togetherness. Then there is the righteousness that comes from feeling like you are doing the correct thing.
I actually believe mask wearing is quite a complicated business.
No matter though because at the end of the day people must be able to choose what is right for themselves.
As for the pandemic being over...well...it pains me to say this but I've an awful funny feeling. Maybe that's because of all the false hope so far. I don't know.
