Masks until 2022 is basically a sure-bet. They will likely relax social distancing before they relax mask policy because liability and $.

It's "President Trump's 15 Days to Slow the Spread". Give credit where credit is due, he was obviously correct.
If we vaccinate every adult by July (and per manufactures we will have enough) community spread should cease by no later then Sept, potentially earlier. Barring a nasty varient appearing it is unlikely masks will go to 2022. Cases are down in this country >70% it will not take until 2022 to end this on the path we are on.
Summer 2022 is looking very promising, by then there will be political pressure to "end the new normal" and people will really stop complying. I say that as someone who is pro-health, pro-science, anti-death & suffering, etc. Not that the virus will be "gone"; it's mutating rapidly and people aren't willing to commit to zero covid, but the culture war should change the dynamic by then. Should be very interesting.
Over 92% of deaths are in those over 55. Once they are vaccinated, there’s no need for public health measures. We would accept 35k deaths in a year from COVID. We don’t wear masks when 60k die from flu, either. And, of course, those with comorbidities under age 55, who make up the bulk of those 35k deaths can and should also be vaccinated by June 30, 2021. Probably earlier.

2.4M doses today per Bloomberg tracker. Another record day. 7 day rolling average up to 1.65M per day. Keep on ramping up. JnJ hits next week or 2 so should boost up numbers even more.
Masks may be gone maybe this summer than early 2022. But social distancing will be gone sooner then masks will be last by summer.
Could part of it be the lack of vaccines to distribute 7 days a week?
If you test positive for antibodies at the time of the first dose of the vaccine.....Great article showing a 140 fold increase of antibodies to people who previously had covid and get a single Pfizer vaccine shot.

Rapid vaccine-induced population immunity is a key global strategy to control COVID-19. Vaccination programmes must maximise early impact, particularly with accelerated spread of new variants.1 Most vaccine platforms use a two-dose prime-boost approach to generate an immune response against the...www.thelancet.com
Yeah, those pesky people that come to Florida to die. He separates this why?
Not only that, every state reports cases and deaths based on your permanent address, not the location of your test/death. If I was to test positive in Florida, California or Colorado it would not matter or count for those states, my result would be reported to the WI DHS and recorded as a new positive case in Wisconsin.
