Do we have places where this has happened, though? Mask wearing tends to track an increase in cases pretty closely, so it's hard to determine a causal link. Also, given the increased morbidity and mortality that correlate directly with age, one would assume that the younger patients that develop COVID would have more severe symptoms as they do with other respiratory viruses, especially since in this case they would have less of an opportunity for partial immunity from past infections due to them being younger. The opposite would follow for middle-aged patients, as they still retain good immune function but would have more exposure.
I think we're firmly planted in the brainstorming phase here.
