[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a headcount of people using the Crescent Trail and Little Falls Parkway this morning. 32 out of 165 were observed wearing masks or a little less than 20%. 
This is down from a headcount over the last 2 weeks of just over 25%. Weekday use of masks is less than 20%. 
Today, there was one group of family bikers of 10 all wearing masks. Otherwise, the % would have been much lower today, [/quote]

The Washington Post printed an article in October trying to show the correlation between states where mask usage was very high compared to lower usage states. It came to the conclusion mask wearing was important.

The problem is the positive case rate went through the roof in all states in mid November through early January regardless of mask wearing. The other issue is 2 states had mask usage in the 60% range and most were above 80%. At the time of the report, over 80% of americans said they wore a mask in public.

The new data shows the highest positive case counts actually correlate to the highest mask usage. NY, TX, CA, FL all report over 83% mask usage. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between mask wearing and lower infection. The argument for mask wearing says more people get sick without a mask but the numbers don't support it.
