A mask covers your mouth from body fluids spraying everywhere when you talk, cough, and sneeze. If that wasn't true why do surgeons wear masks keep the patient from being infected.
The reason you can't correlate mask mandated states with non mandated mask states is because people like you don't wear them.
New England Journal of Medicine - 5/20/20
"We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic."

I don't see mask laws changing any so all this crying is pointless anyway. The places I go are mask mandatory no one argues anymore.
Inside people often wear mask wrongly and no one says a word. Outside large minoring do not wear mask at all and no one says a word to them as well.
Outside Minoring? did you mean Gatherings? I don't attend outside large gatherings. I'm only concerned where people have to go like a grocery store. Protests, Trump rallies those are optional if you go there know people are not going to wear masks. Different situation inside stores where I'm forced to go I want masks in those places.

Should have said outside minority. It got auto corrected and i didn't catch it. At least in Los Angeles large number of people wear mask both inside the store and outside, however you will still see people often not wearing mask outside. "Compliance" with mask inside the store is high but many people do not cover their nose and some even pull it down below their mouth. I have yet to see any employee say anything to any of the customers that do that.

I'm not as concerned outside in open air as long as good distance away 20-30 feet away I drop my mask after leaving a store but not nearly as crowded here in Arizona as it is in Southern California. I grew up in Orange County beach cities I know. It's lot worse now the population density.
Will you willingly take the mark when that becomes mandatory too?
Did you mean take the vaccine? Sorry not following you
