The states in India that have had success have been the ones that provided the ivermectin/vit d/doxycycline/something else I can't remember to not only the infected person, but to everyone in the household. Not every state in India is faring well, even with masks.
Hell, we're not faring well here at 90+% vaxxed and masks for all - there's a 2300$ fine for not wearing one in public buildings (or even in the common areas of apartment buildings), so we do it. I'm not convinced - I think it might lower the inoculum a bit if you get a faceful of virus, but that's about it.
I wouldn't take ivermectin prophylactically regularly, but I do take it the night before doctor's appointments, given that here that means sitting in a windowless waiting area with a whole bunch of sick people. I would start taking it regularly if I felt symptoms coming on, though. I think it did help when I got sick, because my case was quite mild compared to most, and the worst of it was over in a week.
Early treatment really seems to be the key here.
