By the way, this is a very flawed survey as the options are either no mask, always mask, or don't care. There is a lot of grey area in-between these options that many people practice in reality.

Agree, its a flawed survey. Regardless, masks have been proven to work. The desire is to get the country back to normal. That isn't going to happen with masks required in one state, and not in a neighboring state. People do travel, there is movement of goods and services between states, so any guidance/restrictions need to be federally mandated. If there had been a federal mask requirement right at the onset, and good federal guidance, we wouldn't be in this mess. And the vaccine isn't the cure-all either. The same idiots that don't want to wear a mask, probably don't want to be vaccinated. You have the anti-vaxers who think it is all a hoax. So you will still have people running around un-vaccinated, who are spreading the disease. Wearing masks will keep the transmission down in the short term, and we can hope that a good vaccine comes out that is very effective. We need to have businesses and schools re-open, but it must be done safely. Masks are a good starting point.
