My guess is that those folks under a mask mandate did not wear their masks properly. Not covering the nose is like not wearing a mask at all. Also....IMHO, those states that mandated masks probably had a high number of people wearing neck gators which are actually worse than not wearing a mask at all. Even with several layers of cloth on a neck gator, droplets are split into aerosols. I saw that a while back on the Today Show segment about different types of masks.
One more reason, IMHO, people in states with mask mandates wore masks with one way valves. Just another way to trick f%$k the system.Those one way valves work the wrong way to reduce transmission of virus in droplets and aerosols. The valve is to allow the wearer to breath easier but that valve allows the expelled breath to disperse in the atmosphere. If that person is Covid positive, that valve lets out all the virus with the exhaled air. Have you noticed there are physician's offices that do not allow masks with valves? That is the reason.
