We don't see much benefit there, either. See the "clean surgery" papers.

> flossing evidence
That was a thing a few years back: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081...
No, I can't. Can you link to papers that show flossing is effective? Probably not, but the mechanism is so obvious that essentially all dentists will tell you to floss. Further, mask-wearing was already a well-established practice in medical settings to prevent the spread of respiratory disease from practitioners to patients.

Combined with some coordination on travel restrictions and quarantines, it seems Taiwan has been able to keep that normal day-to-day life for the majority of Taiwanese.
