I would completely disagree. Widespread mask use and public policy do make a big difference. The USA has a COVID death rate of 63 per 100,000 while Germany has 11 per 100,000. Japan which is densely populated but has used masks even pre COVID has 1 death per 100,000. South Korea (400 deaths total) and China are way below these numbers but they use a more heavy handed approach that would not work in the United States. I would expect a Dartmouth graduate to look at the complete picture before coming to a conclusion.
