Some of those areas were under mask mandates - which means nothing. At this point, people know it's not being enforced and are doing whatever the **** they want. Add in the lack of distancing, people holding weddings/large events...of course it's going to get worse.

Can really only speak for Chicagoland, but yeah, hobos even mask up to go into corners stores here because they have to. Bars have had licenses pulled early on for not enforcing mask mandates. Maybe in the deep hoods that are barely operating at a human level, masks likely aren't a priority, but that's about it. Case are up over every demographic here.
I feel its a good point on family gatherings though, both rural and in the city that are likely driving percent positive increases, but out and about, masks are very much a thing.
I'm pro maks, pro distancing, and firmly believe those things should continue to be practiced, but the reality is sinking in for me that this is here with us and its feeling a bit hopeless.
