I'm not an anti masker, wore mine for 3 solid years, but definitely tired of it. And we can't wear a mask forever.
I can understand if I'm sick or regularly near someone who is sick, but day to day is too much. Especially in my line of work, where I'm working in the heat doing physical work.
Why can't we wear masks in public forever? Do you wear pants in public? Shoes?
If you are in an open space outdoors distanced from people, like most hard labor, you probably don't need to be masked. But white collar jobs in coffee proximity to each other?
