Reminds me of the controversy over seat belt wear. When seat belts were installed in passenger cars in the late fifties it was believed better to be thrown out through the windshield in a crash rather than trapped in the burning car. That’s what made seat belt wear mandatory.
Here in the US we’ll probably see people go back to the “no mask” mode after the vaccine has been widely distributed. If you look at historic video of Asian countries most people wear a mask during the Flu season vs none in the US. A cultural thing with the acceptance of death or serious illness for yourself or others as secondary.
