Do lockdowns help? A lot of countries with hard lockdowns had really bad curves. A slow fire maybe sometimes burns better. A place where everybody gets infected can maybe be more dangerous for visitors when you increase the time the infection is going on?!

Do masks help? Do they reduce immunity by eliminating some light contacts? Do they allow to transfer the virus without being infected? For sure you wouldn't like to have doctors (treating e.g. Ebola patients) go shopping and exhaling through their contaminated masks.

Is there any epidemiological evidence that masks helped? Data using "reporting date" often shows trend changes around mask measures. Taking a look at "date of death" data those trend changes usually are gone. Why is so little "date of death" data available?
