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.
This is nothing but your opinion. There is absolutely no proof that wearing masks from the beginning would have changed anything. Half the people who wear masks use ineffective masks or do not wear them properly. You may think you know everything but you don't and your snarky replies just show your ignorance.
From the people in the balcony, who are tired of hearing it.
