Since the Coronavirus pandemic broke out in March 2020, the mask has become one more element in our lives. Many people have already gotten used to wearing it despite how annoying it can be, but how long really? Currently we can take it off at very specific times , but when will we stop wearing masks altogether? The answer seems to be the Valencian surgeon who once warned us of what was coming to us with Covid-19.
When will we really stop wearing masks? The response of the doctor who predicted the pandemic
Of vital importance in this pandemic has been (and continues to be) the use of the mask and although wearing it outdoors is no longer mandatory , as long as it can be guaranteed that we maintain a safe distance from others, we still have to use it indoors , such as when entering a store, or on public transport . Therefore, many people wonder how long? When can I go wherever I want without a mask? The answer seems to be set for next year if we pay attention to one of the voices that in January 2020 already warned us of the danger of the coronavirus.
It was a little over a year and a half ago when the Valencian surgeon Pedro Cavadas declared to various media that Covid-19 was a danger since it was contagious at “high speed”, something that caused many to call him an alarmist and even more so when he himself He admitted not being an expert in virology.
However, Cavadas, who, like other health workers, has seen the ravages of Covid-19 very closely, was absolutely right, so many take very seriously what he has said about the end of the use of masks.
According to this doctor, we will stop wearing a mask, both outdoors and indoors in 2022 and specifically in the month of October . Something that, if it is fulfilled, sets the use of an element in just over a year that, although in Spain it is maintained without obligation outdoors, it is not certain that it will not be imposed again in the event that at some point the incidence of cases returns to go up. Let us not forget that the fifth wave of Covid continues to sweep and that other countries such as the United States have already reversed themselves, forcing their population to put on the mask again even if they are vaccinated.
Herd immunity will be delayed
Another of Cavadas’ “predictions” regarding the coronavirus has to do with the long-awaited herd immunity that was going to be achieved thanks to vaccination but which in his “modest” opinion may be delayed due mainly to the delta variant.
In addition, as other experts believe, Cavadas is convinced that it will be years before the Covid-19 pandemic is fully controlled , something that could lead the world population to have to be vaccinated more times apart from the first two doses. (or one) who have already received the majority.
