Zero chance anyone does this
I still see an occasional grocery worker but the foretold future where I was the last one has come
Was at a large grocery store yesterday and saw masks on (a small number of) both staff and customers.
The commissary on Air Force bases were still requiring it months after most people stopped wearing them. I can absolutely see that happening again and actually being enforced.
This is the only real graph that matters.

As long as it stays below 200 a day, nobody is really going to panic over it. It's background noise now. Unless a vaccine resistant strain takes off and we hit 1000+ a day again, it's going to be business as usual.
