Indeed.
So, why do you think the 'best advice' from our governments and health departments (apart from getting vaccinated which doesn't stop you being infected and infecting others) is to wash and sanitise your hands and cough and sneeze into your hand or elbow?
Because any other advice would be a lie! How can you enforce masking and distancing? Will it eventually become the new dystopia, where we shoot/arrest all violators on sight?

Why no mention of wearing (high quality) masks? Or any type of mask at all?
Perhaps it's because masks are a very visible reminder that we're still in the middle of a pandemic and that 'upsets' businesses and the economy in general?
Masks are not poison. I think the most obvious answer is, MASK DON'T WORK! In theory or in practice.
Masks were NOT designed to prevent tiny viruses from infecting us.
Masts were NOT designed to fit all faces perfectly.
Wearers can still breathe in LARGE pathogens from the sides and the top of the mask.
Pathogens can enter through the eyes and into the tear ducts.
Masks need to be taken off when eating, drinking, or sleeping.
Masks can't prevent the wearer from infecting others.
For many, masks can make breathing difficult.
I think that the wearing of masks has indeed had a very negative impact on our economy. And on our society in general. So, yes it would be prudent and logical that the government never make this same mistakes again.

And I am also 100% certain that our governments are now too gutless to try and reinstate mask mandates anywhere or even recommend wearing them. Even if they wanted to - which they obviously don't.
Why would the government reinstate its own failed policies?? Especially when they don't work. How does the government reconcile the fact, that people are still being infected and dying, in spite of all their mandates, closures and restrictions??
Why would you want to enslave your own people again? Forever! This would be an insane thing to do. Unless you are a true misanthrope!

Well, not by endlessly washing and sanitising your hands and shopping trolley handles and coughing and sneezing into your hand or elbow.
And certainly not by doing things like this (taken by me at Belmont Forum shopping centre last September - and it's still there, by the way):
The question was not what you WOULDN'T do. But what you WOULD do to prevent people from becoming infected?!
If the government was serious in stopping infections, it would issue us all self-contained Hazmat suits. Which must be worn at all times, forever!
All this, for a disease with a CMR of less than 1% for the last 4 years? Do you think that we're all going to die, if we do nothing about this disease? Do you think there's no medical treatment for this disease?
