We might’ve fared better if tens of thousands of people didn’t think nonstop protesting was a great idea. You can check the graphs, the spike coincides with the start of the protests. HMM. And spare me the “everyone was wearing masks” argument. That assumes several things:
1. That every single person was wearing a mask.
2. That every single person was wearing an N95 or better mask.
3. That they all wore those masks properly (I.e., none of the failing to wear it over the nose or taking it off when you’re speaking nonsense).
4. Most importantly, that masks are perfectly effective in halting the spread of the virus.
