What changes to you foresee post-Covid? Both good and bad.

I think all medical facilities are still requiring masks (at least in most states). My wife thinks masks won't go away in her hospital.

These people strike me as the kind that still wear a mask when they’re driving alone in their car.
For about two weeks I would have been pretty gung-ho to stop the virus in every p0ossible way. But then I started seeing the maskies---- people walking alone, in the sunshine, 100 yards from anyone except those in cars like me, with their heads down and afraiid to look sideways, wearing their masks. Then it was all the people driving, alone, and wearing their masks.
I had it pretty good, hardly ever needed to wear a mask, and never for more than an hour.
I realized from the start that there were no actual scientific studies done about the effectiveness and proper hygeine of masks, it was all borrowed theory from hospital traditions and a few marginally scientific studies. But I have lived in Asia and saw people wearing masks as a standard personal mode. People spit a lot on sidewalks, crap in every possible place, piss on the walls or squat on gutters. And the crowds are petty thick. But there are still no actual scientific studies or analyses that show the benefits. A few epidemiologists have even come up with a study, from broad data sets like mandate areas, non-mandate areas, where they found no benefit.
We drive cars with air cleaners, but we don't bring the air cleaners indoors and set them on the dresser or kitchen counter, where the daily harvest can rub off or float off air conditioning flows.
Like truth in any war, common sense goes out of fashion with any government management.
I disagree. A human face is a far more welcome sight than any mask. Even yours.
(I thought about doing a roll call @everybody in here to get this into the notifications, but hey. )
I'm waiting to see how things turn out. So many people so pissed at everything done under Covid, when we get a real pandemic, nobody will listen.
But by the time it's campaign season this fall, the media will be so full of claims that Trump faked the pandemic to try to steal the election, even Mark Levin will be voting for Liz Cheney. And by 2024, Hannity and Levin will be campaigning for Fauci.
The National Savioor who keep government reasonable despite everything Trump did to overthrow democracy.

Online newspaper. I'm not an idiot. Books are what stack up in my life. You can see a fair amount of floor though.

I wore a mask in the winter before it was cool. Cold air hurts my diseased lungs, so I wear an N95 outside, and even in my car.
I'm only wearing a mask to doctors' offices these days because they require them. Sadly, I go to them more than social events. Old age sucks.

One older lady that I don’t do much work for asks me to. I still ask, but no one says yes anymore.

I took my son to the pediatrician the other day and they required it, but my doctor doesn’t.

Knowing nothing about your specific factors, just saying "bad lungs" would bring me down on the case for N95. Just replace/clean it frequently though.
