  1. I watched the video you linked and it has one serious problem, it had 0 examples of a place with lockdowns and not lockdown lite full of holes, maybe Peru it was too late already without a Chinese style hard lock down. Every jurisdiction or on the case of USA 50 linked jurisdictions all other than arguably Hawaii with no lockdowns. What the video didn't set out to prove but sort of does is a non complete lockdown will have the same result, slowing the spread in a lockdown lite model as all countries mentioned did seem to produce approximately the same result. With the point about masks I agree it won't stop spread it will only slow the pace a little or maybe even a lot, a lot might change the doubling rate from 2 days to 6 days everything else being equal. Keep wearing your mask it reduces your risk but if of course you are surrounded by diseased people your risk goes up. Take care and if you want to compare lockdown countries look at the following Taiwan, South Korea, Japan , Thailand, Malaysia, Australia by state, Vietnam, New Zealand. You will see that there is no consistency in case numbers or pattern, only consistency is if quarantine fails cases go up quickly. In other words if you cherry pick you can sort of provide any anecdotal evidence which may appear to make sense to a non sceptic.
