Unfortunately, it is political. The majority of the anti-mask people I know are indeed Trump supporters who are crying about their rights. I mean they cover their dick, balls and/or breasts to go into a store because they have to, but a small piece of fabric over their face is "unconstitutional."
You can be anti-mask yet still wear one when mandated and still social distance. All the protesters seem to be pro mask but they sure as hell weren't social distancing. Yelling with a mask on doesn't do a whole lot. Also, how many "muh freedom" people would even get tested unless their symptoms were very bad?
The 7 counties with mask mandates in Ohio:
- Cuyahoga County - 65.8% for Hillary, Obama in 2012
- Trumbull County - 51.2% Trump, Obama in 2012
- Huron County - 65.5% Trump, Obama in 2012
- Franklin County - 60.6% Hillary, Obama in 2012
- Montgomery County - 48.4% Trump, Obama in 2012
- Butler County - 62% Trump, Romney in 2012
- Hamilton County - 52.6% Hillary, Obama in 2012
The spread doesn't seem that political unless you are literally saying that it's only the republicans in these counties spreading it, which would be ridiculous. Must be all the republicans in LA too.
As for the younger crowd spreading it, the cases are spiking younger. BUT, what does that mean related to testing 2 months ago? When tests weren't open to just anyone, how many younger people were getting tested. With the increase of testing, I'm not convinced it is all bc of younger people. Cases going up still does not matter unless hospitalizations are going up. Arizona and FL seem to still have issues, but I haven't seen much reported elsewhere that people are dying or hospitalized at an increased rate.
