I think it is either out of ignorance or just covering their asses. Basically the same reason why Florida has practically evacuated the entire state for the past 3-4 hurricanes that have gotten anywhere close to us. It is easier just tell everyone to get out than it is to accurately predict where the most damage will be done. It was easier for them to just tell everyone to wear a mask then it was to explain to everyone who should wear a a mask and have them do it.

I honestly think they just didn't know. Same reason they told everyone not to wear masks then changed their minds. Same reason they said kids couldn't be in schools and then said they should be. At this point, they have bet the farm on masking so they can't turn back. Biden's entire strategy around the vaccine rollout has basically just been a continuation of what Trump was doing with the exception of his emphasis on masks. It is my opinion that he wants to use that as a way to take credit for something that was already happening when he showed up.
