The two sets of observations could be compatible. In the one, the University of Maryland Social Data Science Center attempts to estimate a national average.
In the other, a journalists across several states and reports what he sees. If he is spending time in rural areas and small towns, he might be observing lower mask use rates than the national average.
From the NYT's The Morning, By David Leonhardt, I read: Almost everywhere I stopped â gas stations, rest stops and hotels, across Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois â there was a sign on the door saying that people had to wear masks to enter. And almost everywhere, most people ignored the sign.
At a Fairfield Inn in Ohio, a middle-aged couple sat unmasked on a lobby sofa for hours, drinking beers and scrolling through their phones. The hotel staff evidently did nothing about it. At a convenience store in Indiana, a hand-drawn sign on the door read: âFace masks are required. Please do not enter without one!!â Customers did anyway.
Nationwide, about half of Americans are not wearing masks when in close contact with people outside their households, according to a survey released yesterday by the University of Southern California.
......... For now, I feel like I just drove across a country that is losing a winnable fight.
pretty sure i read/saw where observed data regarding mask use is about 75%
news release, where only smart people live, today! now! this minute!:
Scientists have discovered the key obstacle to combating the COVID-19 pandemic: Big Heads. Those with big heads are much more likely to avoid wearing masks and practice social distancing.....

my appt at the cam co college is in 3 months. Then I got one at Moorestown in 2 months. I'll cancel the other. Today on the news, there was a guy that said others waiting in line with him made appts. yesterday for today. I have no idea what's going on.
You're not alone. My wife's Inspira (Gloucester county) shot for next Thursday just got postponed. Mine is in Moorestown in April. It's a mess.

Man, I wish BillG could enact some sort of filter on whose postings you see and don’t. Not that my wish has anything to do with the noise that keeps clogging up the fora. Not at all.
Why don't you retreat to your echo-chamber on FB and the like (if it hasn't been disabled yet)?

So I took my daughter for round 1 of the Vaccine this morning, and while sitting in the car....
A man exits the building, removes his mask (against clearly marked instructions), lights a cigarette....and proceeds to walk past the line of those awaiting their shots smoking. He gets told by those running the site to put his mask on...but he doesn't and keeps walking and smoking.
Should smokers get priority for vaccinations? Should the reckless behavior of others put my life at a slightly higher risk?
Smokers are getting priority in my state. For the sake of the ICU space.
My state IS your state. I was at the "mega-center" at Rowan.
