Despite public perception, Covid-19 is still with us, both as a nation and globally. We are currently afflicted with KP.3.1.1 and we do not yet know the extent to which XEC (as it is presently named) will affect us.
It is wise to still mask, not just for Covid-19 but for the upcoming cold and flu season.
Yet, even for those of us who are still taking Covid precautions (the "Covid Cautious," as we are sometimes referred to), would there ever be a time safe enough to unmask?
The question is not intended to be inflammatory; If there are conditions for which we expect the population at-large to mask so that the spread of Covid-19 is arrested, then there should be conditions, however stringent, for them to not mask.
What conditions would need to exist in order for you to not wear a mask in public?
