New York (CNN)Sales of reusable face masks, which had started to cool down earlier in the summer, have reversed course as the Delta variant spreads across the United States.

Weekly mask sales in dollars had been declining in June and into July, according to Adobe Analytics' Digital Economy Index, which tracks sales data directly from a majority of the top 100 US web retailers. They've been rising since the week beginning July 21. According to the latest data, mask sales for the week beginning Aug. 4 were up 40% over the prior week.

Just come to my house to get a mask. I found one last weekend in my front yard that someone tossed and I have a few in the trunk of my car. 50 bucks to the first Karen that shows up. No need to go online.

I was just telling my wife how I’m seeing lots of online ads for masks again, even on conservative sites. And here in my rural area, more people are sporting masks again AND businesses are once again putting out big displays of masks for sale. Fear is a powerful drug... and a profitable one for the fear merchants.

I bought a bunch for my son going to Cal State week. He’s never worn masks as I pulled him out to homeschool him his senior year. He’s in for a shock at Cal State, the belly of the beast of the Soviet Union of California.

Parija Kavilanz is a senior writer at CNN Business, where she covers a range of topics, including startups, entrepreneurs, small business, innovation and immigration.

Where did she get her information on masks. " Masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. The CDC has guidance for wearing masks. Wearing a face mask may limit exposure to respiratory droplets and large particles and may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus."

Why isn't our Southern border closed?

In my leftist New England state full of pro mask Karen’s, we still have probably 98-ish percent of people not wearing them in grocery stores and similar.

Despite the rise in cases, our democrat governor has refused to do a mask mandate in ponded off to the mayors/city councils to decide what to do. So far only two cities have mandated indoor masks.

I remember seeing a “Covid store” at the mall about a year ago. I imagine that they consider it a stable, long term business model.

People spending more money on masks that provide no protection from anything.

"Free masks on ground in grocery store parking lots and train platforms."

But don't you dare use plastic grocery bags.

This is playing out like a horror movie version of “Groundhog Day”.

Even more covid disinformation , fear porn and propaganda from CNN? Yup.
Where is this so called “online mask sales” jumping up at?
And how can online mask sales be shooting up but not in groceries etc?
Masks DON'T work. Masks have never worked against covid. Period.
Not even N95 masks.

No, N95s won't stop the virus either
