Temporarily? In what was is any of this temporary if COVID is going to be endemic?

At some point we need a way forward, and that really shouldn’t require masks in all public settings.

BTW - masks completely destroy my beard, so they’re not ‘zero impact’ by any means. ;-)

I have a beard myself, how could I have forgotten about that.

You're right, long term, improving ventilation is how to reduce exposure, in the meantime though, I don't think it's too much to ask to mask up.

It's been 2 years. How many more do I need to wait?
