I live in a city and county with a very strict mask order. I rarely if ever see anyone without a mask. Even people outside alone on a walk wear masks here. We are experiencing a massive spike and my friend at the ICU said they are out of beds. There must be other factors at play for this spike. I am NOT saying masks are ineffective. Only that there almost has to be other factors in this November spike that we all knew was coming months ago. I know it feels good to rage online about how your life is on the line because of the selfish Other, but it's really not helping much. Let's try to understand what's going on with as much good data as possible.
