What will happen as we start taking a vaccine? Will some still expect them to wear a mask?
There's this really amazing, unusual, fantastical thing called civilization. You might have heard of it - maybe not.

Thing is, when "people who don't WANT to wear masks but should" (that specific group of people) see a bunch of "people who don't NEED to wear masks anymore" (that specific group of people) not wearing masks, they don't know that the second group don't need to wear masks. They only know that they aren't wearing them.

And so they think "wow - masks aren't needed anymore, and I don't want to wear mine, so I'll take mine off!"

It's sort of the opposite of herd immunity. It's herd stupidity. And it's infectious.
