As we approach our third year of wearing masks, our two-tier world of the fully vaccinated and the only-a-little vaccinated is easy to overlook as the first 10 US states and then the UK abandon mandatory masking. But with only around 16 percent of our population vaccinated, compared with over 75 percent in the US and the UK, our protection is surely lower.
Yet as our Health ministry has said we must remain masked — even though we are now running at fewer than 100 new Covid infections a day across our population of over 47 million — maybe it would be possible to have a full discussion about the masking we are doing and how well it works.
