I now know lots of people who have it or had it.  Every single one of them is a disciplined mask wearer. 

I say that because there still seems to be this narrative out there that this virus is spreading because people are not wearing masks.  That appears to be completely false.
Only the narrative you're perpetuating.  Every single one of your anecdotal friends could be disciplined mask wearers, have gotten Covid, and just been a part of the percentage that still gets it.

Minnesota today: 7877 new cases on 56,800 tests run, 13.8%. 58 deaths, and nearly all hospital beds full.

Also, 1/3 of the Mayo Clinic's staff have been infected.

Wisconsin seems to still be leveling off. We'll know come Monday if this is the case.

So far, 22 percent of their cases (total, historic) are active. 

77 percent recovered. 

1 percent death.

Illinois is a disaster right now.

Yeah, based on what I'm seeing at worldometers, Wisconsin has flattened re: cases. That's good. Hopefully it turns into a decline.

California announces a curfew. 

I can't remember the last time I was out past 10 PM anyway.

10pm is a good time for this old man to be home and headed for bed

Georgia appears to be blowing up now, not as bad, yet, as in June, but getting bad

I'm going to reign in the dining out a bit to outside only or places where I know we're well separated.

What in the hell are you saying?

what narrative am I perpetuating?

I know dozens of people who have or had covid. Several barely survived.  Several in my family. Several dozen at work.  My own daughter- a N95 perms- mask wearer.  They are all mask wearers.  In fact- I am not aware of anyone in my circle of work, family and friends, that don’t wear a mask every time they step out the door.
what narrative am I pushing? 

I am disputing the narrative that it’s all non mask wearers that are spreading this.  But that should be obvious to everyone by now.

the message for a few months and before the surge has been to wear masks

unfortunately, it's not nearly as effective as hoped

IMO masks are effective there are other variables.Hand washing after handling money,groceries,door handles on cars and buildings etc.Inside gatherings,distancing.Unfortunately the virus could be hanging in anyone of those places

Yes- masks are waaaay better than no masks. 

But masks are far from foolproof as these latest spikes show.

Who handles money these days? I feel like at least half if not more use credit cards or pays with their phones or watches. I know I do and I see other people do the same a lot.

Who said they were foolproof?  
Questioning the efficacy of wearing a mask is conspiracy theory territory.  Stop doing that.  Whether a mask helps 99% or 2%, if this statement you say above is what you believe, THEN STOP QUESTIONING MASK WEARING.
