All these have huge population density, and near 100% mask compliance:
S. Korea: 305 deaths
Japan: 1085 deaths
Vietnam: 24 deaths
Taiwan: 7 deaths
These countries have very crappy mask compliance:
USA: 172k deaths
Brazil: 107k deaths
Russia: 15k deaths (lol right)
Sometimes the simplest answer is actually true!
The other way masks very likely might help is they reduce the initial load on transmission, which there is a lot of evidence reduces the eventual severity of the infection.
