Because of an abhorrent cretin in the White House who actively mocked people for wearing masks, continually lies saying COVID is no big deal, despite admitting on a recording that he knows it's 5 times deadlier than the flu, and keeps having super-spreader rallies with large groups of people packed together with no masks.
And large numbers of Trump supporters deliberately ignoring masks and social-distancing measures because Trump said to "not be afraid of COVID".

@cheesemaster saidIt's mainly US politics discussed on this forum, so I thought you meant America, where COVID cases increase far more than anywhere else in the world.
@vivify
Covid is increasing world wide.
Do you blame Trump for everything?🙄
Many countries have relaxed their social distancing guidelines. Why? Because masks and social distancing/lockdowns worked. Those relaxed guidelines lead to a second wave as people became too negligent regarding COVID.

And don’t forget, masks don’t keep you from getting Covid, they prevent you spreading it.
