Apparently we need better masks.
Or people to wear them. I've seen fat dumbasses scream to high heaven about "muh rights!" and "how dare you!?!" in the middle of a Walgreens where, you know, other people where lined up to get their medicine. And I've seen ant-mask rallies. The utter stupidity of these delicate little snowflakes is incredible. That they're all being whiny little snowflakes is the height of irony.
The vast majority of people are wearing masks. As I said, I can count one one hand the number of times I've seen people in public spaces not wearing them since the mandate took effect months ago. That's not the reason the virus is spreading.
This isn't true outside of major cities.
May depend on where you are, but I spend a lot of time in rural areas (hunting and fishing trips), and I've been in grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, and big box stores in very rural parts of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Louisiana over the last several weeks and masks were required in the vast majority of places.
They're required and worn by with great consistency in small cities and big cities, and the virus still ebbs and flows.
I assume they help some, but they're just one of many factors.
