Where I am in Indiana and Illinois, we can’t go inside any public place without a mask. Everyone complies. We don’t have to wear them outside (yet) but I have seen plenty of people who do. I am guessing this is the way it is in other states, so I don’t know what a national mask mandate would accomplish, except maybe to throw some federal weight around for some unwholesome purpose.
Couple of weeks ago I drove from my home and Kentucky to Seattle going through several States including Indiana Illinois Wyoming Montana Idaho South Dakota North Dakota. I walked through dozens and dozens of doorways that said masks required and I never once wore a mask and not once did anybody tell me I need to wear a mask. In fact one guy asked me how I was able to get in without a mask on and I told him I just walked in, at which point he probably took his mask off.
