Alrighty! Here's some of the evidence for you.

and the numbers can be falling just because it is burning itself out.
I read your posts, but not one of them attribute the fact that it is burning itself out. Instead, you keep selling fear and terror.
I told you once before that all will be touched by this. You want me to trust the stuff (numbers) you put up, but you cannot entertain the fact that it has almost completed its rounds.
If you fail to get exposed to it by now, you will be when you go back out.
Masks are a thing to make people "feel" safe, but they aren't working to halt the spread. They aren't even slowing the spread and there is NO evidence that masks work.
Gloves do not work. Put your gloves on and go into a store. You handled what they (carriers) handled and you spread it when you touch the next thing. Door handles, products.......you contaminate yourself at any point. Then you bring those contaminated products into your home. You cannot escape the inevitable.
Went to the farm store yesterday. Watched a woman, wearing a poorly fitting mask and gloves, collect all kinds of stuff to purchase. She made her purchase and as soon as she was out of the store, she took her gloves off and sealed herself in her car with all of those items someone else touched. It cannot be avoided.
Hell, she even sterilized her card before and after she put it in the card reader without knowing she had already just come into contact with contaminated products.
Again, there is no avoiding this.

If I go out, there are people who have never seen my face before. I don't want to deprive them of that joy, so I tend not to wear a mask, especially at Lowes (full of men).

several opinions are not equal to studies and peer reviews of those studies.
No, I've been cleared by my doctor who said he hadn't worn a mask since it started. He got tested a month ago and had antibodies and no symptoms.
I've never worn a mask, either. I did not hide in my house. I went out into public without one. I cannot get it, I cannot pass it along.
Mask only make you "feel" safe, but in reality, they don't work worth a damn.
I suppose you want me to wear one to make you feel safer, but I wont.

Lol! Well that is the best argument against masks I've seen so far, I must concede.
In all seriousness to you and just people here in general, look I'm 35. I'm not saying this stuff because I fear that I'll realistically die if I catch covid. Many if not most of you here on these forums though fall into the highest-risk age category and, believe it or not, I don't want you to die! I know I can be rough in the way I communicate (I've been called a $#@! my whole life, so yeah, I know I'm not always pleasant ) and so I know it may not always seem like it, but I really do want you folks to make it through this. If your issue here is politics...look, to the guy you voted for, you are just votes and money. Your life means absolutely nothing to him and I'm sure that thought has occurred to you at some point or other by now. There's no way it couldn't have. I'm a real person. I don't own a business empire, I'm not running for office, and it really ain't my life that's at serious risk here. I just give a $#@!, that's all. I'm sure your kids and grandkids probably feel the same way. Just think about it, K?

In all seriousness, I do wear a mask nearly everywhere. Not because I fear the Covid, but out of respect for other people.
My daughter is a Nurse Practitioner and is front-line in respiratory illnesses. She sees patients BEFORE there is any test. If she catches it, she will bring it home to me. And vice-versa. Neither of us is afraid. Neither of us is a hero.
I think there is a small percentage of people whose genetics offer them little-to-no resistance against Covid. If that person gets it, he/she dies. Also the otherwise unhealthy with weak immune systems. Also, the morbidly obese.
And ugly people, too.
