Down in rural Georgia...lots of people without masks. A shocking number of People of Color, especially Hispanics. We know that Covid has been disproportionately deadly for Blacks and Hispanics, and I wonder if mistrust of officialdom among those communities has led to less masking. Apparently, the higher your degree of social trust in institutions the more likely you are to wear masks. So the conspiratorially minded are obviously not masking. While admittedly it's highly anecdotal, what I've seen suggests that a sizable number of Blacks and Hispanics are simply not masking. I'm also not saying it's their "fault." But it is noticeable.
