Wow, WotFace, you totally called that! You must be like the smartest guy on this forum or something.
Sweden is going into partial lockdown even though everyone on here has been claiming they achieved "herd immunity" months ago. Huh. That's a head scratcher.

Wow, deaths spike a single digit number, and then went down again during a seasonal virus, I'm totally and completely shocked.
BTW, here is a mask study https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance...searchresult=1

Direct contact with COVID-19 patients increased the likelihood of seropositivity among employees but study participants who wore a mask during COVID-19 exposures were less likely to be seropositive.

The mask study is in a clinical setting. Rate of infection among surgical mask wearers is 13.1%, for people who don't wear a mask at all, 17.5%. ~4% among trained professionals in PPE use. What do you think it is in the general population, 1% is probably extremely generous.
I will say, it does look like wearing an N95 mask is important. Wearing an 95 mask reduced the severity of infection by half, surgical masks did not offer any protection to the wearer.
