Some Data

Masks and lockdowns have not worked in controlling the spread of COVID-19. The jury is still out on the efficacy of the vaccine. Treatments such as HCQ have oscillated between being labeled as "effective" or "dangerous" depending on whom you ask and when and their political and financial motivations. 

So here are some data driven articles on the facts of mask usage. 

Cluster of randomized cloth masks vs medical masks.

Charts of mask mandates compared to infection rates in given populations. 

This author would point out that all "data" on mask usage prior to 2020 indicated that what little effectiveness masks can offer, has only been studied in a clinical environment, and is always directly linked to washing of hands and keeping distanced. 

Studies produced in 2020 and beyond are tainted with bias, lack of scientific method, and political and/or financial motivation. 

This author had COVID-19. It was a #SpicyCold . Here are some more facts:

80% of COVID hospitalizations are of people who are obese. 

90% of COVID deaths in Tennessee were persons over 60, with two or more comorbidities. 

COVID 19 death rate in Tennessee in 2020 was less than the Flu death rate in 2018 in Tennessee. 

COVID-19 death rates nationally are over reported about 16 times the actual number. 

When you account for over-reporting, COVID-19 is no more deadly than the average flu.
