Not true.
It's because NY got hit early on and the virus went through the population. The antibody testing in NY yields higher %'s than most other areas, meaning it is closer to herd immunity than elsewhere.
Some countries/states have high rates of mask wearing and cases are going up (Philippines, Hawaii), some countries have lower rates of mask wearing (in Europe) and cases are going down. It has nothing to do with masks or we'd see a correlation across the board.
