Snippet: That is, we numerically simulate an epidemic with and without masks, with a fixed β 0 . Then, we fit the baseline model to this (simulated) case data, yielding a new equivalent β 0 , β 0 . An excellent fit givingβ 0 can almost always be obtained, though occasionally results are extremely sensitive to β 0 for high mask coverage/efficacy, yielding somewhat poorer fits.
