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.

"Mandating" the public to wear a mask is almost impossible. You would have to stipulate what is construed as a legitimate mask, how must one wear it to make it lawful, and when would the mask be required. Folks that seem to think that the gov must direct their lives are folks that should live in a country run by a socialist dictator. Americans should have free will. What's next, mandating mask usage during flu season? Mandating long sleeved shirts to prevent sun damage? No one in the gov has prevented you from wearing a mask to protect yourself.
