For Covid19 there's a few very helpful articles I've referenced.

Excess Mortality
Yes, this is the "flu dashboard" but it also tracks some Covid19 data. In the section about NCHS Mortality Statistics, you can find a great chart with links to a nice, simple data set regarding flu and Covid19 mortality - and most usefully - total deaths by year.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

One data set (this link changes, so it may be stale when you download it.) https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyarchives2020-2021/data/NCHSData46.csv

CDC article from October addressing excess mortality and how it indicates Covid19 deaths are underreported - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e2.htm?s_cid=mm6942e2_w

Mask Efficacy
Oxford Study - https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-07-08-oxford-covid-19-study-face-masks-and-coverings-work-act-now
Data about mask usage vs reopening, showing that mask mandates decreased new Covid19 cases by about 90% - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-020-06277-0
