Do you still mask?

Where required or encouraged, and in many places (crowded indoor spaces) where it’s totally optional.

Masking isn’t over, any more than wearing condoms was over after the main surge of the AIDS epidemic. In both cases, a lot of people were glad to give up using the protection when they had a chance, but the overall societal awareness of the potential benefits of that protection is here to stay.

People will be making their individual choices about whether/when to mask (assuming we don’t have more pandemic waves leading to mask mandates again), just as people make individual choices about whether/when to use condoms. But now most people (except the ignorant who turned anti-masking into a defiant ideological cause) understand that even imperfect protection can be better than no protection.
