Whether wearing a mask helps or not, by what authority does the gov have to force healthy people to wear them?California instituted a mask mandate on June 18, two months ago. On that date they had 4084 new cases for June 18th. Two months after the mask mandate yesterday, August 18th, California had 4636 new cases for the day. On June 18th, the first day of the mask mandate, California had 82 new deaths and two months after the mask mandate, on August 18th, they had 100 new deaths for the day.

And, whether you are in a red state or a blue state, people aren't going to wear their masks whether there is a mask mandate or not and most of these people are the younger invincible liberals aged 20-29 who aren't about to stop going to beaches and bars.
The mask mandate is working in my county. :rock

What county do you live in?
State policies mandating public or community use of face masks or covers in mitigating the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are hotly contested. This study provides evidence from a natural experiment on the effects of state government mandates for face mask use in public issued by fifteen states plus Washington, D.C., between April 8 and May 15, 2020. The research design is an event study examining changes in the daily county-level COVID-19 growth rates between March 31 and May 22, 2020. Mandating face mask use in public is associated with a decline in the daily COVID-19 growth rate by 0.9, 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0 percentage points in 1–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–20, and 21 or more days after state face mask orders were signed, respectively. Estimates suggest that as a result of the implementation of these mandates, more than 200,000 COVID-19 cases were averted by May 22, 2020. The findings suggest that requiring face mask use in public could help in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
People never travel from a dumb **** trump county to an intelligent mask-wearing county.
Why are the numbers still going up?

I can make thousands or more arguments of things that people should do using the same perverse logic being applied here and by doing it here it opens the door to those arguments.
We could mandate that everyone own a gun or nobody can have premarital sex and if it saves one life its worth it. There is a very big problem with criminalizing things that are not universally accepted by an overwhelming majority as unacceptable like murder for instance.

How do you know they are not? Do you not see a problem with assuming everyone is guilty of something in the absence of proof of innocence?How do they know they're healthy? Trump never has supported a full test rollout.
The biggest spike in CA is from the Central Valley where there are many farmworkers and other essential workers who have little choice than to work as they do, which may not include mask or proper physical spacing to get the job done, and also live in hshld where it is usual to have 3 gens living together, closely, where much virus is transmitted. It is much the same that is contributing to the spike in TX from along the southern border. Same thing. TX has a mask mandate, but that should eventually lower their numbers. CA is still lower per capita than the Red states. So, there ya go.
There you go that mask mandates don't work.
Maricopa County (Phoenix, 3.5 million people), has a County wide mask mandate, and the positivity rate and hospitalizations are back to the lows of 2 months go after a fierce spike prior to the mandate. Its the rare person who doesn't have a mask on in public, and they are usually called out and/or offered a mask by the maskers. I carry an extra mask (sealed in the original package) to give to someone without. Mandates work very well.
California disagrees with you. Perhaps it is the red states like Arizona who are more compliant instead of those blue state liberal young people.

We do not know. Moderate Right failed to tell us. He only posited that masks do not work without any evidence of which areas of California are failing, why they are failing, or situations they are failing in. I am open to arguments from either side, but they need to be substantiated before I will change my mind about whether masks work.
