I really have no idea of the specifics between different states and timing in the USA. I live in Finland, so here's what US looks like from here since February:

- leaders downplaying the virus

- no top-down leadership in tackling the virus

- masks made political

- hundreds of thousands of people dead

- media focused on wedge issues and Trumps fantastical statements while people are dying

I do not live in the US and I don't for a second believe that everyone is anti-mask there, but judging from the outside looking at your numbers and media coverage, your whole attitude towards this deadly disease seems f'd up. I don't mean to direct this as an insult to the American people, more as a criticism towards the cultural and political attitudes surrounding this crisis. Anti-maskers of course are not solely to blame - nobody is - but they certainly seem to play a huge role culturally when compared to other countries.
