I could be misremembering but around here (Roanoke) it felt like masks


didn't really become the majority until the late summer early fall as the numbers started to get worse (and more businesses started requiring them instead of making them optional). By the late fall/early winter I'd say probably 90% of people I saw inside were wearing them. To me it felt like more people started wearing them after the numbers got worse which would make it difficult to determine the impact. I'd say part of the reason it's been hard to tell what impact different measures have had has been the patchwork implementation across the country. States and counties had different rules that went into effect at different times but nothing stopped people from other states/counties with less restrictions from coming into those areas. That's why I would have liked to have seen more centralized guidance to start with. I understand the concept of states rights and all that... but when there's nothing to stop people traveling from one state to another then it makes sense to have some sort of high level mandates. For example, if I lived in VA which had some restrictions and mandates and then travelled to Florida with very few mandates and restrictions, contracted COVID and came back to VA then on the surface it would look like VA's restrictions aren't working.
