Well if the people who think that we have herd immunity are right, then we can stop using them now?
They are almost certainly wrong. Simply because if we did, the number of cases would be falling rapidly. It's not, it's remaining constant now (with a bit of variance) and has done for a while now.
Deaths are still falling but they lag cases by about 3-4 weeks and they are starting to level off.
We need to get it going down again, and if masks can achieve that without e.g. reclosing the pubs, good.
