Right at the bottom, (108 + 118) / 312 = 72% of people who 'Always' wore a mask still got Covid (or Covid symptoms with a negative PCR test) - even if you eliminate the Control group, 71% of the Case-patients were Covid19-positive. Meanwhile, someone might try to argue that means 'at least the masks were 29% effective' which is complete horseshit, because that's not the comparison being made - that would require a study of non-symptomatic negative Covid19 test set of patients 1/2 of which wore masks 'always' and 1/2 of which more masks 'never', then subject them all to the same exact amount of aerosolized virus and measure the results. Anyway, i could go on, but that's enough heh

Might be some overlap in there, that's just a quick dump
Thanks for taking the time to link these. I appreciate it.
No problem. Lots of good stuff in there, whoever compiled that google docs is a hero
The CDC one is one of the best
