The Mask Business in Hessen

 Starting 2 April....there's new state regulations on the Covid mask wear.

The new deal?  You only have to wear the mask if in a hospital/clinic, on a subway/bus/train, or in a retiree home.  

Stores or just plain interiors?  No.

The question is....since everyone has been 'hyped-up' (trained) to wear the mask....will they just quit...because the state dropped the mandate?

I personally doubt it.  

You still need to carry a mask around with you (in your purse or pocket) because of the potential of getting car-trouble and having to ride the bus home.  

In a grocery?  I would imagine that 80-percent of people will continue to wear a mask. 

The odds of the mask mandate coming back in October?  Oh, I'd put up a hundred Euro on that bet happening.  The mask will likely return, and be a permanent part of 'life'....making the fall of each year a big deal.

Covid still a highly contagious virus?  If you look at the 7-day rate....yeah, it's still a big deal.  What most people now describe as the effect?  It's like a 3-star cold, and most are over the effect by the 5th day.  Yes, you still have that one person out of forty who has long-Covid symptoms, and I doubt that this ever goes away.  

So you have about two more weeks of the mask to endear.
