I made you this chart of the UK pandemic. It's incomplete by necessity, but gives the flavor. Do the dates and lockdown measures look unrelated? https://imgur.

  It is a log chart! Look at the y axis. It's hard to see anything sensible on a linear chart.

  Such dishonest statistics, this source. For example, > One of these neighboring Southeastern states had a statewide mask mandate. The other two did not. > [Shown: COVID-19 Deaths, per million, 7-day average] But mask mandates do not claim to prevent COVID-19 deaths, rather transmission. A state with relatively low transmission but poor healthcare infra will see similarly unintuitive/surprising trends.
