Masks don't do shit. In Asian countries they've worn them ever since SARS.
I had two people come in to see me and sit right next to me once, both wearing masks and sniffling and coughing. I asked them to sit farther away since I was about to take a trip to the US and can't afford the doctors there with no insurance.
They said "DON'T WORRY, WE'RE WEARING MASKS!".
I had a cold or flu or some kind of shit the next day. Luckily I had time to go to the local doctor to get some medicine before the flight.
People here think masks work, so when they're sick they just wear masks and go out anyway instead of staying home. Then, everyone around them gets sick and they still think masks work...
Yes, I have. They have been fanatic about testing, and their death rates vs expected death rates line up. The only difference between them and us is that they wore masks almost religiously.

They laugh at me when I tell them this story.
Japan had less 1/10th the deaths (per million) that we did
Have you ever been there? It's densely packed. Like many many many many times more dense than most any place in the US.
Social distancing would be literally impossible in most places.
Yet they managed to have low rates. Did they do testing? Was it just political?
I promise you it wasn't the masks. That's not even how masks work.

How about Taiwan? They barely tested anyone, but were the model of covid response, supposedly. Also densely packed like Japan.
Suddenly there's a problem now and everything is locked down. People wore masks.
The government now fines you for setting foot outside without a mask.
You don't know how many they had, obviously. The CDC has been REPEATEDLY ADMITTING the ACTUAL COVID CASES are VERY VERY LOW in number.
They also cannot hide that in the last week of May last year, nearly EVERY SINGLE FLU *AND PNEUMONIA CASE in the United States VANISHED.
a DAY went by.
Two days later, EVERY SINGLE FLU-PNEUMONIA case in the US with execption of about 3%, BECAME COVID.
In the UK
EVERY SINGLE FLUE/PNEUMONIA CASE
v.a.n.i.s.h.e.d. to then BECOME: COVID.
Only someone utterly illiterate about all this says what you've been saying.
