No - its likely that it will never be gone.

Anybody ever buy KF94 masks? They are Korean version of the N95. They look like they would be better at keeping fog out of your glasses.

Nebraska restaurant server receives 5-cent tip and a note slamming masks
“Get rid of masks, tips will be bigger,” the note said, just above where the customer wrote in only 5 cents on the $38.15 meal.

People are like this. We had a customer come in the store today despite 2 or 3 signs on the door saying staff only, ask if we are allowing dine in, and storm off pissed to the point of damn near breaking our door when we said no and politely asked him to leave and we could take his order outside. Probably still get 1-2 a day swearing at one of the workers.beef said:
ETA: Ok, maybe not swearing at them, but swearing as they walk away and/or getting pissed about it.

Despite a lack of formal education people were a lot smarter then. They knew a huckster when they saw one for example.

WI anti-mask protest
Event emcee Paris Procopis compared the mask mandate to the beginning of the Holocaust.
“It was just a train trip,” Procopis said. “When they were telling people to get on trains, ‘Oh, you’re just going.’ You know, when they were sending people to concentration camps and murdering them by millions. I think they are trying to see how much they can get away with.”

99% of people I know are pro-mask. This feels like an emotional issue that the left clings too to justify why the other side is so bad, but it's really a non--issue for most of the country as far as I can tell. There will be always be extremists, but you block their rhetoric out just like you would on any other topic.

It is definitely not 99% and it definitely isn't exclusively a left/right thing. It is more regional than anything I would say. I was in WI this past weekend. Certain parts were 99% mask compliant. Other parts were 10%.

It's 99% of people Trip claims to know.
My guess is that Trip must know a lot of Democrats.
Gallup poll results: 61% of Democrats always wear a mask, compared to just 24% of Republicans
It shouldn't be a partisan issue, but it is.

I was on a road trip as well. In cities seems to be about 80% while rural areas 40%.

I would have loved 40%. I was in Green Bay area. Grocery store I went to was almost universal. I think I only saw one person without one, but they had it around their neck. As I got further south, I went to an RV place to buy a camper (zero people wearing it. 1/2 dozen employees, and another 4 or 5 customers). Stopped in a gas station to get gas and buy beer (nobody but me wearing a mask. 2 employees, 1/2 dozen customers). Campground - while we (me and my 7 and 9 year olds) did not wear masks around the site, when we went to use restroom, we did. Nobody else did.

I was tested and of course, it came back negative. That's the nasal test, not the antibody test.
I'm 51, good shape, no underlying conditions .... covid-19 has a chances about like the common flu of impacting me, and as little chance of killing me
Here is the kicker ... I'm 3 weeks out of a negative test. I can show that negative test to anyone and they feel safe. Funny thing is ... I could now be positive, I could have been positive the next day from taking the test. i'd literally have to be tested at least every other day to really keep up knowing if I has covid 19 virus or not
oh and who really thought home made cloth masks that go unwashed weeks at a time really worked ?

Pretty good argument for really ramping up testing and contact tracing on a national level.

I would love to hear the thinking on why someone having to wait 3 weeks for results of a test is an adequate lag time

Possible the hack fraud editors at CNN added that line later to make you look bad. Or that you didn't read more than a few lines. Who can say.

They had one guy wear one type of (single layer?) gaiter? I'm not exactly impressed here.

Meanwhile in Florida...
Florida sheriff forbids employees, visitors to wear masks: If they do, 'they will be asked to leave'

It's hard to know what to even say about this without getting banned on here. America is so unique in this

I agree and I'll leave it at thus, amazing how Trump and so many of his supporters have MDs.
Before the "gotcha", no I don't have one. That's why I listen to experts in the field. I also bring my car to the mechanic when it needs work. I'm not a know it all.

as I walked around in Kroger yesterday I saw maybe only 1/4 the people wearing what would be considered an inside mask

Masks are about protecting other people, not ones self, so it's very telling when someone decides not to wear one in a public space. You care about you (not literally you) and not much for others. The fact were doing mask break downs about which ones sucks is depressing. We're trying brother.

Yup. I go through the hassle to protect others and hope/expect others to not be selfish and do the same. Unfortunately we'll never get our arms around this situation as long as people don't wear them.
Stealthycat
Footballguy
and most masks people wear are dirty, poorly worn and not suggested for indoor use
so the people thinking they're protecting others really are not and the people feeling safe are not really safe

sure thing
next time you're in public just remember you're not really protected at all - great false sense of security I guess for people but if you're older than 60 or have conditions you probably shouldn't go into public and take the risk
but that's a choice those people make - not my choice, theirs

I'm going to continue to wear my mask safely. I probably won't remember your "just remember" reminder. It probably doesn't suffice as far as health standards but I do enjoy making my neighbors feel better even if the the science is wacky. It's not a a big imposition to me. I love my community, if a mask makes them feel better ill wear one.
I enjoy treating people w respect. My community and neighbors mainly. But that's just me. Even if they don't work.

Is this post from March? I haven't seen anyone wearing a homemade mask in 6 months.
Stealthycat

really ?
that's about all I've seen - I'ev not seen an N95 type mask even for sale at Wal-mart of grocery store - all of them are $3.99 and cheap cloth

Tons of cloth masks in NYC (& mask usage is super high in Manhattan below 110th and north Brooklyn.) I’m about 50% surgical & 50% one of a few homemade double clothes I have been gifted. Usually only wear gloves on the bike, subway or when I volunteer (often.)
I’m also positive for antibodies but that doesn’t factor in; we don’t know for sure. Yet.
