I think you are being sarcastic because I don’t quite understand why you cast it in a seemingly nonsensical terms. The national mask mandate started in mid-April, by which time tons of infectious chains had been seeded. People were told to wear homemade masks. But as the pandemic went on they stepped up their PPE manufacturing and mask compliance rose to 90%+ nationwide by September, which is when their surge was cut short.

There are policies and then there is timing, compliance, and a host of other factors that mitigate their impact. Just read about the details of these countries, everything is online now. Oh wait — I forgot the MSM conspiracy that somehow all newspapers around the world simultaneously propagated right?  :roll:

Not sure why you so readily attribute India’s success to a punitive mask policy. You are ignoring climate, immunity.

“In fact, India's numbers went down exactly when experts predicted they would spike: in October, when millions of people gathered for the Hindu festivals of Diwali and Durga Puja. It's when air pollution is also worst, and experts feared that would exacerbate the pandemic too.

Cases have also declined despite what many thought would be a superspreader event: tens of thousands of Indian farmers camping out on the capital's outskirts for months.

Shah, the epidemiologist, wonders if, just like more infectious variants of the coronavirus have been discovered in the U.K. and elsewhere, perhaps a milder variant may have started mutating in India.

"Some processes must have happened. This is an evolution of the virus itself. In some places there are mutations happening," she says. "We need some more deeper evidence and deeper studies."
