Wearing the right sort of mask reduces the spread of infection The issue was always one of not enough medical capacity to cope with mass infection as was clearly demonstrated in Northern Italy and New York even Swedens light touch reinforces that general medical view.

@dianegriffen2756 what a stupid whataboutism. For a correlation between policy and outcome we need only look at the US if your a Republican your far more likely to die from Covid by a considerable margin than if your a registered Democrat. This ties in with mask mandates closing social venues to vaccine uptake. The more Conservative you are the more likely you will die of covid

@barneymagee3285 There's huge amounts of data and case studies out their from all sorts of academic angles I'm primarily a mathematician and economist. such as this one Quote The data speak: Stronger pandemic response yields better economic recovery Study of 1918 flu pandemic shows U.S. cities that responded more aggressively in health terms also had better economic rebounds. and this one For red and blue America, a glaring divide in COVID-19 death rates persists 2 years later Post-vaccine, death rates in red states were 38% higher than in blue states.
