Masking worked fine with early mild low viral load versions of covid like America has just cleared up. India had that well under control early last year as did Australia where I reside, but these new variants are just so so much more transmissible. Its N95 now or nothing and it seems like one stray molecule with covid virus on it and you have it.
Vaccines seem to be working ok against current strains as with antiviral cocktails, so hospital surges are unlikely in places with sufficient supply of either.
Keep in mind, Covid is spreading and mutating faster than ever out of the bubble we live in, its FAR from over, its just year one of something that's going to challenge us at least until we have a universal vaccine for it.
