Wow even from a marketing standpoint that is shitty. I have had plumbers coming in for several of my properties and they come in wearing gloves and masks and those little booties. Out of respect I wore my mask while I was around them as well. The company advertises its safety protocols so that people feel comfortable calling them to come in the house and their business, like many other servicemen, is booming so not sure why they would not want to promote that. But then again it is ND and they don't care about no COVID haha.
My argument isn't about whether masks are effective (I think your claim on that re:Arizona is horseshit), but whether Biden's plea will be effective.
COVID-19 cases in Arizona dropped 75% after mask mandates began, report says https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...opped-75-following-local-mask-man/5911813002/ COVID-19 cases in Arizona spiked 151% after a statewide stay-at-home order expired and dropped 75% following local mask mandates, a new report says. The report, published this week by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was authored by officials with the Arizona Department of Health Services, including director Dr. Cara Christ. A stay-at-home order in Arizona expired May 15 and two weeks later — between June 1 and June 15 — the daily average number of COVID-19 cases jumped by 151%, the report says. The incubation period for a person exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus to develop COVID-19 is approximately two days to two weeks. The spike in cases ended up overwhelming the state's health care system with a surge of extremely ill COVID-19 patients needing care. On June 6, as COVID-19 hospitalizations in Arizona climbed, Christ sent a letter to hospitals in the state urging them to "fully activate" their emergency plans. The number of COVID-19 cases in Arizona peaked between June 29 and July 2, stabilized between July 3 and July 12, and declined by approximately 75% between July 13 and August 7, the report says. "Mitigation measures, including mask mandates, that are implemented and enforced statewide appear to have been effective in decreasing the spread of COVID-19 in Arizona," the report says.

I guess you don't want to believe the Science in the report from the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6940e3.htm
Is this the same CDC that told us masks didn't work back in March? Or was that Fauci? All these experts...
Actually what the CDC stated in March is that the public should not rush out to buy N95 masks -- because healthcare workers needed them (with a short supply) and most of the public did not know how to use N95 masks correctly -- making them not effective for use in public. Following the CDC lead... the U.S. surgeon general urged the public in March to “STOP BUYING MASKS!” “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!,” wrote Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Twitter
