You can mandate all you want but if supply can't keep up with demand it's pretty much an empty mandate.
The second masks became readily available again, they should have mandated it. Instead of waiting months for the country to recover (which obviously hasn't happened yet) we would have stood a much better chance of recovering within a month or two after a mandate was issued.

We'll never know, now. And the first wave never ended so no - this isn't a second wave starting. It's just the resurgence of the first one.
