Survey says masks will be on people’s faces at least through early 2021

As of late May/early June, 88 percent of respondents in the United States thought the coronavirus infection rate would be the same or lower in the first quarter of 2021—whether there’s a vaccine or not. But most expect to still be wearing masks.

Most respondents expect to wear masks nine months from now, when many believe the COVID-19 infection rate will be lower.
