There will definitely be another wave next winter- I don’t think anyone disputes that. I think it’s very likely to be somewhat lower in terms of case count- how much depends a lot on what new variants arise. I think it’s almost certainly going to quite a bit less bad in terms of hospitilisations/deaths (and this winter will be a lot less bad than last).
Masks definitely work. But I don’t consider having to wear a mask whenever I’m in the company of another person to be remotely a price worth paying for a significantly reduced chance of getting a bit of a sniffle, which all covid really amounts to for a young tri-vaccinated person these days. So I don’t wear masks, even when legally required to.
