Given those points, the most significant being the unknown duration of immunity, it's pretty clear we're going to be wearing masks for a long time to come.
Mass transit, restaurants, and gyms will be a bit of a pain in the ass in this regard, but I see no reasonable alternative until we can establish length of immunity or that we've reached herd immunity. And I don't see the public (the sane public that doesn't mind wearing masks) giving them up any time soon. There's no cost/benefit under which freedom from mask wearing outweighs chance of catching the Rona.
I bet you'll see $250 masks in the Hermes and Ferragamo stores at the mall in the next few months. (They'll need to do something with all the necktie fabric that won't be used for that purpose anymore.)
