A team of northeastern academic researchers, doing a “Covid States Project”, recently published their most recent survey of how “the human behaviors that have been shown to inhibit the spread of COVID-19 have evolved across the US since April, 2020.”
Said differently, they were evaluating whether or not people were complying with the CDC’s COVID mitigation guidance.
The researchers found that, since Spring, mask wearing compliance has increased from slightly over 50% to over 75% (the light yellow diagonal line running from the lower left to upper right corners).
Hmmm.
Mask wearing has increased to a relatively high level, yet the number of confirmed cases are spiking to record highs.
Seems counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?
