What is the medical evidence for significant virus-related health benefits (to anyone) of general surgical-style mask wearing?
Many different measures have been implemented, you can't possibly pick one of them and say that particular one has had a definite impact on a certain thing.
At least where I live, the way that Covid deaths were recorded over the winter left plenty of leeway for those dying "with Covid" to have just died of the flu (to be specific, if a patient had symptoms or evidence of a viral respiratory disease being the cause of death, then all that was needed was a "clinical picture of Covid" to make it a Covid death).
