I've pretty well beat the mask issue into a dead horse, but...
It continues to astonish me how ambiguous the mask messaging is. The Governor of Ohio issues a mask wearing directive "for counties that are in X zone." Why the hell just not make it simple?
Everyone in the state:
- Wear a mask inside anywhere outside your own home
- Wear a mask outside in places other people are gathering
- No mask required when walking, running or biking and keeping distance from others while outside
All the mixed messaging and when to wear, not to wear, all contributes to fewer masks being worn.
This all said, I did see a study that showed about 2/3 of Americans are wearing masks, which is way better than the sorry 1/4 of the UK population the same study cited wearing them.
