Question: how were the cases evolving in the rest of the country from October onward? What other major events took place that could help explain rises or falls in case numbers? What other safety measure were enforced or lifted during those times?
Point is, there are a lot of variables, and you're not accounting for any of them.

You're a moron, you know that, right? Fauci literally admitted they lied to the people because they wanted to prevent people from buying up all the masks and ensure doctors still had access to them.
Don't get me wrong, that was the single most idiotic move he made in his entire life, and he should have had his career destroyed for that single lie, I have no love for Fauci.
But seriously, stop being a dumb ass. If masks weren't effective, why in the hell do doctors wear them, not just now with covid, but during things like surgery?
@alyx Masks don’t do much. Check the science.

I imagine it’s because an open body with exposed internal organs and blood vessels is a far more effective vector for transmission of far worse pathogens then the pissant crap you can expect from respiratory transmission. @colonelj

I can't understand how you people keep getting this backwards. Masks aren't there to protect doctors from the exposed guts. It's to protect the exposed guts from the doctor's breath, than can carry plenty of germs, even when they're perfectly healthy.

Isn't "transmission vector" the place that "transmits" the pathogen? Maybe you should have said "reception" vector.
In any case, nose, mouth, eyes, are plenty good reception vectors for pathogens too.
That's exactly what I meant. A doctor operating on a patient naturally has their well-being in mind hence the mask to prevent pathogen spreading from the doctor's respiratory tract to the patient's open blood. I never said anything about the doctor at risk of infection.
Are you stupid?
