I think the cases will going downtrend into the low levels by April during Spring Break and Easter as future variants will getting weaker as no more surges by Fall 2022 and next winter as no more massive waves, then COVID-19 pandemic will be over in US, as the world soon by end of the year.
My family and friends who are RNs, and surgeons will probably crack a smile if more Would have gotten / get their 2nd and 3rd shots. If that was the case, then our medical facilities would not be as stressed as they were in 2021 for example. I've seen it with my own eyes last summer and it was not pretty.
I'm not optimistic. If I were you, I'd expect to have to wear it and then be extremely excited if they remove the requirement.
I find the testing requirements for the vaccinated more onerous, honestly. Not that I’m downplaying 9 hr in a mask. I’m hoping all mandates are gone before we (finally) go to Europe in August. Only been planning this trip for 5 years (concretely—it’s been on the bucket list since our first date…).
I definitely agree that between the two, the testing requirements are more onerous. I would ask what the longest period you've had to wear a mask for has been. For me, including the time in the airport it was around 7 hours. It got pretty miserable after around hour 3. Luckily, I was able to eat microscopic pretzels one at a time and chew them to the point that my stomach was no longer needed for digestion to get some breaks.
Ugh, don't say that. We're almost out of the pandemic soon by end of the year. I don't want to see another spike between August and December. Heck even mutation will make EVEN LONGER FOR YEARS TO COME! As for me don't expect even worse that part. Even Africa and Asia WILL getting be fully vaccinated by months to come. @GoofGoof Is the spikes will happen between August and December. I don't want this two years a row as same thing again please? Heck even future mutations aka new variants will get even weaker soon. Also take a look at this:

What is their criteria?? 0 cases? Btw this all comes back with a new variant for the mid terms
After 2 year we'll just be delighted to be there. It will however be strange as very few people are wearing them in the UK. It'll also be the first time my six year old will have worn one at all. Some of the UK airlines have already dropped them.
It might be strange on the plane and in the airport but once you get to WDW you'll be able to count the number wearing them on your hands and feet.
I’m not sure what you are talking about. I think maybe you quoted the wrong post. Where did I say the cases needed to be zero? Actually, nobody here is saying that. Seems like maybe you want to argue with someone so creating a straw man. Let it go. Let the political nonsense go. Enjoy that masks aren’t required most places now.
I wore a mask last month for about 10 hours, 2 days in a row while in airports/flying. It isn't that bad.
Finding the right mask really helps. I terms of breathability either the surgical or KN95 seem to be best. There are ones with ear loop adjusters that help too. My kid has worn masks every day for 8 hours a day for school. I've had days where I was at the school that long too doing stuff and those work. Though I get it. It's nicer when it's optional if you can.
Assuming flying economy, none of those activities require sitting in an uncomfortable, cramped seat while wearing a mask for long duration.
Huh? I think you lost me on your point. What seat you are in doesn't affect mask comfort and breathability. In fact I'd argue if we can do all we did in our masks for same duration and be okay, then someone sitting still will be fine. I mean my masks at the 3-5 hour sitting in a hard plastic chair for trial work didn't really change.....
Guesses are just guesses. They know no more than us. Not everywhere had August spikes.
First not sll spikes lined up the same everywhere. But really, you see no changes at all from the beginning? Sorry but nothing in the history of this world leads me to believe it is never ending.
