Really, that’s the best you can do? Then again I guess as bad as it sounds, it’s still the best option for you. Because otherwise you would have to come to the realization that masks are truly not a very effective way of slowing the spread...

I have some more information that I would like to pass on regarding why those states with mask mandates may have not done any better than Florida regarding the "numbers". This is second hand information because I am relaying comments from someone on another discussion forum. This forum has folks from all over the country and from abroad also so there is a cross section of folks joining in the conversation. I was quite surprised to hear of this happening in another part of our country.....
The commenter said that in the state he/she lives there is a mask mandate yet only about 50% of people he/she sees actually wear masks. These people he/she mentions are not wearing their masks incorrectly but DO NOT WEAR masks at all.
I can only imagine that the mask mandate is not enforced so people take advantage of that. Sad really, if this is true. I have no reason to believe the person relaying this information was not telling the truth. So, there is one more reason as to why states with strict mandates did not do any better than Florida which never had a mask mandate.
