Some of "the rest of the world" is already leaning back towards mask mandates. Outside China, it would be a very courageous government that would re-introduce lockdowns, but the bureaucrats have to be seen to be doing
something - whether masks are effective or not is not for me to debate as I am unqualified to do so.
But unless we get covid rates down very soon, expect Australia to follow with mask mandates in the not too distant future.
If it avoids lockdowns, suck it up, says I.
I am off to Europe soon for an extended trip, and have packed a couple of dozen masks in anticipation.
