I'm not in Texas or Florida, so I can't see and account for how many are wearing masks. But I know that folks in NY are masking up as we have little to no choice.
If less people are wearing masks in those states though, as no mandate states they have to - they one would expect more deaths and sicknesses as a result. But apparently that's not the case.
So why are some states with more mandates in place to wear masks - are seeing more infections/deaths?

Texas, Florida Report Fewer Coronavirus Cases than Blue State New York Despite No Mask Mandates
Both Florida and Texas are reporting fewer new cases of the Chinese coronavirus than blue state New York despite no statewide mask mandates, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows.
Leftists heavily criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) this month after he lifted restrictions across the state, including the statewide mask mandate, which had been in effect since July. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has continued to come under the same level of criticism throughout the pandemic, as he stood as one of the few governors who refused to take executive action on masks. The Florida governor, particularly, has continued to confront members of the establishment media for selective outrage, telling reporters last month they do not seem to care as much about public health compliance, such as masking and social distancing, “if it’s a ‘peaceful protest.’”
“Then it’s fine. You don’t care as much if they’re celebrating a Biden election. You only care about it if it’s people you don’t like,” he said.
Despite the steady stream of critiques, data appears to back the Florida and Texas approach, as blue New York continues to report new cases of the virus than both despite having a statewide mask mandate and a governor who continues to urge New Yorkers to mask up.
March 21 CDC data shows Texas reporting 94.6 new cases per 100,000, or 27,424 cases, in the last seven days. Florida has reported 142.4 cases per 100,000, or 30,584 cases, in the last seven days. CDC data separates New York City’s data from the rest of the state, but even separately, the state and city have reported more cases per capita than both the Lone Star State and Sunshine State.
