The idea of cooking food stayed. Sanitation stayed. The practice of washing hands stayed. Refrigeration of food stayed. Why the heck shouldn't the use masks stay?
Last I checked, people generally enjoy cooked food more, there isn't a washing hands mandate (outside of certain workplace), no fridge mandate (and it comes with strict benefits of longer lasting food).
I don't understand this position. Are you honestly proposing that we permanently require masks in all public, indoor environments? For the rest of our lives?
I don't see how you can flippantly propose this as an option. How can you be ok with wearing masks for the rest of your life—if it can at all be avoided?
