We have a real-world experiment going on right now - East Asia vs. the West. The result is clear despite other variables like population density being very much in the west's favor.

I agree this is a very good argument.

I just wonder if it's the end of the story and if the differences we observe can only be attributed to mask wearing. For instance I don't think all Asian countries have the same policies regarding masks though. Also, there may be other factors at play, e.g. cultural and geographical elements.
