If masks don't help slowing down spreading the virus immensely... why does the USA (lax regulations, low mask acceptance thanks to mixed messages of the government and anti-mask propaganda of fox news) currently has almost 2 million known active cases (~5800 per million) while other big western countries with even higher population density have it much better under control?
I'd say Germany has a similar wealth and lifestyle (in most areas) as the USA and only ~6000 known active cases (~68 per million, so 1/85 compared to the USA).
Italy was hit pretty hard by the virus, but they took it serious and are down to ~12000 known active cases (~200 per million, so 1/29 compared to the USA).
France is still in trouble with ~65000 known active cases (~1000 per million)... but the USA numbers are 6x worse than that (~5800 per million).
And the 4th of July infections will probably make it even worse in the USA
