Much of the world will probably be wearing masks 'for couple of years,' warns a prominent Spanish virologist. Much like the US, Spanish health officials like Dr del Val have found themselves at odds with in-fighting politicians on how to manage the coronavirus crisis. 'I think when people were eating and drinking outside, which was taking one measure, open air, which is good, they were forgetting a second measure…either distance or masks,' Dr del Val said. And if I don't get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me. And with the many holes in the potential coverage offered by a vaccine, those masks may remain a better tool for some time to come, Dr del Val said.
