In another comment I mention one piece of research indicating that overall our non-pharmaceutical interventions didn't do much of anything other than small short term effects. There's a fair bit of data showing that while people feel good about masks and social distancing, it doesn't appear to affect the pandemic. However, more focused efforts like protecting nursing homes could've saved half the lives lost in this pandemic (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/baltimore-nursing-home-covid-free/2020/07/23/31bddade-c78a-11ea-b037-f9711f89ee46_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/baltimore-nursing-home-...). But it generally takes well trained professionals to do it consistently enough, IMHO.
