States arent the ones Karening around without a mask in enclosed spaces. How about a randomized study looking into social media history of hospitalized patients to get the % of those actually following best practices?
Or just breaking it down by mask compliance rates per county. Masks are heavily political, but averaged across the size of a state things shift from red/blue to shades of purple. At the county level, these things seem (anecdotally) to separate much further. The hot spots around here were all in the rural areas with low mask rates.
