Well then say so. Otherwise it looks like you're just another troll pulling numbers out of your ass.
Ranked at what?
Total cases per million? Florida has more than New York.
Total deaths per million? Florida has more than New York.

Anyway, there are a lot of factors in play besides mask use. Social distancing, geographical location, temperature, humidity, wind speed, economic development level, race, high airport or road traffic, state of the healthcare system, and on and on. Choosing to ignore the research that proves the effectiveness of masks at reducing the damage from the virus is your choice.
It's a shame you choose to spread the misinformation.
The difference is like 0.2%, statistically that is no difference.
I am not choosing to ignore, I am looking at the contradictory facts that point to that study being incorrect. Take for instance it is impossible for the masks to be effective when the water vapor and virus particle size are much smaller than the surgical masks would be physically able to capture. and before you go 'but muh n95 masks' again, no one ever wore those out in public, we were never mandated to wear that type of mask, etc.....
Before we get to the question of why you believe you know more than the researchers, let's review the question you're skipping over...
Ranked at what?
covid cases per one million people
Thank you.
How many studies do you want? How about a meta analysis: "A total of 6 studies were included, involving 4 countries, after a total of 5,178 eligible articles were searched in databases and references. In general, wearing a mask was associated with a significantly reduced risk of COVID-19 infection (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.21-0.69, I2 = 54.1%). For the healthcare workers group, masks were shown to have a reduced risk of infection by nearly 70%. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196655320310439
So much wrongness, and you don't need Harvard to tell you - all you have to do is wear a mask for a while. They get wet.
And the virus doesn't crawl around by itself - it's carried in the water droplets.
That's simply wrong. They're for sale at every hardware store in the country. You see people wearing them all over the place.

I'll repeat this quote: "Our findings indicate that both respirators and medical masks provide a high as-worn bioaerosol protection efficacy against virus containing aerosols, and therefore, a very high protection against airborne diseases. Considering the higher comfort, better availability, and lower price of medical masks in contrast to respirators, it is recommendable to use medical face masks especially in low risk situations and in general public." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36317154/
