Everybody wearing a respirator could be one of the equilibrium point of the social evolution under the COVID-19, though may be not the only one. Unfortunately, I did not figure other equilibrium point yet. To my best knowledge, nobody gives other end point of the social evolution in a rigors way.
Agree. My comments can certainly be seen as suggesting a starting approach and then refining that approach. However, I would actually expect to see a lot of zigs and zags, and possible multiple types of solutions that will work in different settings.
About the only thing I would say I have any high confidence about is that we need to start doing something. Masks, just like telecommuting for some, is one starting point. It might just end up being the crutch used to get over some hurdle. So I see things more as a stage where we will likely do some things that could be called trial and error approaches (but the error needs to be more on the “we cannot do this because I cannot stand doing X” side and not “we cannot do it this way because we just tripled R0!” side)
