mask wearing percentage by county



https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8580249/Most-residents-Northeast-West-wear-masks-Plains-South.html

A map shows the face mask-wearing rates across all 3,141 counties in the US amid the coronavirus pandemic
Counties in the Northeast, now seeing record-lows, and the West, experiencing record-highs, were high with rates between 70% and 100%
Hotspot states such as Texas and Florida, which were more resistant to mask mades, also had high compliance
Rates were much lower, around 30% in counties in the Plains, such as South Dakota and Iowa, which is starting to see a rise in cases
Cities were much more likely to have high rates, such as Atlanta, but suburbs had lower rates

I can accept that.
Here in the fringes I'm seeing that in stores. And maybe 75-80% overall. (Counting everything indoors, where I've been.)
The more densely populated portions of the county are likely higher. There's 700k in the county, and there's only 15-20k down here in the southern end.

We as a whole have improved mask wearing greatly in my county in Florida. I sorta can understand Wyoming being reddish. They hardly had anything with the virus.
