Not an American but if it all goes by what I see in the news, no you are not.

Not really. For example, Florida has no state-wide mandate and the individual city mandates there are not really enforceable [1].

Every time I leave the bay area to go somewhere hiking, the towns I pass through are full of both (a) Trump flags and (b) people not wearing masks. Two weeks ago, employees at local bakeries near Mt. Shasta weren't wearing masks in the kitchen. Even the employees at Taco Bell Drive Thru near Mt. Shasta weren't wearing masks (they had their masks off their nose). Complained via Taco Bell website and got no response. That's America in a nutshell.

#7I think it's more accurate to say that it will postpone the death of 130k americans by a few months.

#9They'd have to wear the things over Thanksgiving Dinner. Good luck seeing that happen - everyone knows you catch COVID only when out in public, but never over dinner with your friends.

The paper cites this website: https://covid19.healthdata.org/global?view=mask-use&tab=tren..., which reports 60% (self-reported) of people consistently wear masks. "Required" isn't the same as followed. Furthermore, I think this paper is modeling COVID19 deaths everywhere, not just in dense areas.
