Genuine question, why do states with early mask mandates and hard lockdowns have worse case/death stats than states who didn’t? They certainly aren’t noticeably better. Does it seem reasonable to question why there is not a massive difference in those stats between states that took different approaches? I don’t have the answers, but it seems to me that if masks and lockdowns were the panacea, NY, CA, NJ, MI would have vastly better case rates and fewer deaths. Maybe it’s more complex that just that?
