Has anybody tried to predict the last date the maskers stop masking? Who will be the Hiroo Onoda of the COVID pandemic masking?

@thackerpd I have no plans to end masking in public. At least not in 2023.
@R_H_Ebright @thackerpd Serious question, Richard – I follow you and follow the debate – what degree of security do you think masking gives us who continue to do so and those that don't?
@ChrisVTaylor @thackerpd A reduction in exposure risk. Probably a reduction of least 75% for N95/KF84/KN95.
@R_H_Ebright @ChrisVTaylor @thackerpd N95/KF84/KN95 can also reduce viral load (should you not be fit tested or wear it incorrectly) which has been associated with lesser severity of symptoms if you do get infected even though you wear a mask.
