New survey data is detailing public attitudes and responses to the novel coronavirus pandemic, including how many people are following the statewide mask mandate.

The survey, from data collection company Premise, has generated over one million responses from 105 countries to assess the economic, social, and health sentiment surrounding COVID-19.

In Washington, 40% of those surveyed said they always wear a mask when leaving their home, while 36% responded that they sometimes wear a mask. A smaller 23% said they never wear a mask.

Of those who said they did not wear a mask when leaving their home, 28% said they did not own a mask or know how to make one; 22% said they do not believe it is an effective way to prevent the spread of the virus; 16% said they didn't need a mask to protect themselves or others; and approximately 4% said that no one in their area was wearing them.

2. I live in Okanogan County

Pretty red, but I went grocery shopping 3 times since the mandate, and only saw 3 people not wearing a mask. Went to the post office several times, everybody had a mask. Went to Les Schwab yesterday, everyone was wearing a mask.

I have been surprised that only a few are not following the mandate. Of course that could change.

3. I suspect the 23% call themselves patriots too

and call the patriotism of others into question.
