I don't think they have any intention of ever letting us ditch the masks.
This article from the BBC news in the UK tells us that doctors are advocating us continuing to wear masks after the "end of restrictions" day on July 19th. "Targeted measures" put forward by the professional body for doctors include requiring people to continue wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces, such as shops and on public transport.
High levels of community transmission could also provide fertile ground for new, potentially vaccine-resistant variants to develop, he added.
And they are going to make sure they do develop.
Also - In the UK, 45 million people - 85.5% of the adult population - have now received one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. More than 33 million people - 63.1% - have been double jabbed, according to latest government figures.
I also read somewhere else recently that "herd immunity" cannot be achieved in the UK until....lo and behold....all the children have also been jabbed.
