Title: To mask or not to mask: Modeling the potential for face mask use by the general public to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic Document date: 2020_4_11
ID: 28utunid_45
Snippet: Finally, we consider numerical experiments where masks are given to all symptomatically infected persons, whether they otherwise habitually wear masks or not (i.e., both I U and I M actually wear masks). We explore how universal mask use in symptomatically infected persons interacts with mask coverage among the general population; we let ϵ I o represent the effectiveness of masks in the symptomatic, not necessarily equal to ϵ o . We again run s.....
Document: Finally, we consider numerical experiments where masks are given to all symptomatically infected persons, whether they otherwise habitually wear masks or not (i.e., both I U and I M actually wear masks). We explore how universal mask use in symptomatically infected persons interacts with mask coverage among the general population; we let ϵ I o represent the effectiveness of masks in the symptomatic, not necessarily equal to ϵ o . We again run simulated epidemics with no masks, universal masks among the symptomatic, and then compare different levels of mask coverage in the general (asymptomatic) population. In this section, we use equivalent β 0 as our primary metric. Figure 4 shows how this metric varies as a function of the mask effectiveness given to symptomatic persons, along with the coverage and effectiveness of masks worn by the general public.
