There will always be folks who will not follow the mandate and break the "law". They will go maskless and congregate in close quarters with others in non public spaces. Then they will go maskless into public spaces and spread the virus. There are way too many people who do not believe this virus is a threat and do not believe that masks are beneficial to slowing the spread of the virus.

Too many Americans are on this train and we Americans will never ever achieve the compliance of the people to pull off mitigating the virus by masking and social distancing. Sad, but true.

Our only salvation out of this mess is a vaccine. Just heard this morning that the Moderna vaccine has a 94.5% efficacy. That is wonderful news!
