Most people who have caught COVID claim to be mask wearers.

I've read enough of your posts to know that you are smart enough to know that what people "claim" and what they actually do is often two different things. They get sick and to avoid embarrassment (or maybe blame if grandma died) they claim they were wearing a mask. It's just human nature. But wearing a mask by itself isn't a guarantee. All parties have to be masked to achieve an effective result. And it should be coupled with social distancing and hand washing.

Look, I've seen hospitals with outrageously high staph infection rates that turned the trend around almost overnight by imposing a mandatory rigorous hand washing policy for employees. I know this is viral and not bacterial but the concept is the same. Prevention measures most often help.
