I think the point is if you wear a mask and you say six feet away from people, there will be a good chance that all these numbers will go down down down down....

For me that does not seem like much to ask. So I do it if I'm out around people. Too easy.
Yes it matters, I have seen many people on this forum say that they look at the percent positive rate of testing as most important. If the percent positive number goes down this is good. If it goes up it is bad. Since the state has this problem of a huge number of labs not reporting negative tests, we don't know what the actual rate is.
