For the people in the balcony, who weren't listening the first dozen times it was repeated with a microphone down on stage:
Increased use = reduced risk.
Expounding on that:
The more people who comply, the less likely anyone is to get sick. If EVERYONE complied, there would still be a risk of getting sick. But the risk would be minimal, and we would've been able to open up a lot sooner.
But since there was no mandate, there was no reason for most people to feel compelled to wear masks. And so they didn't. And now we're on an increased crescendo of the first wave, because 9 months later - the first wave is still alive and kicking.
