That being said we wear our masks everywhere we go out in public as that is required here yet people still get sick so who the hell knows lol. Locking down a country isn’t an answer either as I think that causes more harm than good in the long run (businesses go out of business and people lose their lives, turn to drugs, alcohol and depression or suicide sets in).
Masks take a little wee wee tinkle on the fire, shutdowns take away the wood from the fire. Shutdown is the only effective way to really slow the spread, but the opportunity cost of shutting down is very stiff.

It’s a damned pickle.

At least wearing masks may prevent a little spread, but most importantly makes people feel good, which calms everybody a little as we get our asses kicked. Which does help.
