> Just wear a mask in indoor public places until the pandemic is over.

I'm fully vaccinated, so why should I? And when will the pandemic "be over"? Covid is here forever and ever. As long as we keep testing at the level we do, we will always find new variants and always see "spikes" of cases every single winter.

When, specifically, do the states with mask mandates remove them? Why not today? What makes a month better? Or a year? Or never?

Pushing for masks at this stage is arguing we wear masks forever. That isn't a world I care to live in.
